I named this entry, went on with my day, came back this evening and I have no idea where I was going with this. The start of another productive day? A new start now that I have been doing the web journaling for 3 weeks? The Future Self Journal instructions prefer 30 days but I …

A sentence I said to The Sps last night, after we were musing about stopping at a local South Asian restaurant in a nearby city. Which kicked off a convo regarding how odd it was for me to say that in the first place, and how far we both have come from our upbringings of …

Gardening Edition. I used to be one. I am reformed, mostly. Gardening helped. There is a dude who has a website, and now a book, claiming to debunk gardening myths.
