Today was a good day. Finally. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of finally overcoming a problem that’s kept you up a night, sent you to perhaps the dullest city in mid-eastern America, had you eating mediocre food …
I hate this city. And Memorial Day. The two of them combined? Well, let me tell you… I figured I’d stay in today and get some work done. Fine, no problem. Or so I thought. I got up later than I’d planned (probably …
Today was my day off. It didn’t start that way — I was figuring on getting a lot of work in, but as I went out to scout for lunch, I decided that the day was nice enough that I would take a little walk. My logic says …
