I haven't done one of these in AGES. However, Awesome Megan (I think that's how I will always describe her now) suggested it, so here we are. Perhaps I'll even try to do this with some regularity? Who knows. Anyway, onward! 1. There was/is apparently some sort of thing about two spaces/one space after a… Continue reading Friday Goodness

My lack of resolve, however, doesn't stop me from continuing to make the resolutions.… Continue reading 2011: looking ahead
