and yet one more thing

Posted on June 5, 2012 by dichroic

Apparently the stairs yesterday did work. Or maybe the panicked speedy bike ride to the boathouse was what helped. (The ride there was panicked because I realized at 7:35 that I’ve been supposed to be there at 7:15 to take … Continue reading →

roundup of the weekend: the usual subjects

Posted on February 21, 2011 by dichroic
