fighting the lack of good ideas
To help fulfill my stated goal of reading more, I have installed the Kindle app on my laptops. So far I’ve found scores of free ebooks that I’ve either always wanted to read, or figured I’d give a chance since they’re free. The first one I read was a collection of Aesop’s fables. Some reactions:…
On the 19th of June, I married my sweetheart. We then went on an awesome trip to the Williamsburg VA area. Like all vacations, that one was MUCH too short, but we had a blast. Now we’re sadly back to reality – work, grocery shopping, walking the dog.. but that’s cool because I’m spending this…
