helmet. I am now up to three helmets. That’s right – THREE. *shakes head* Today was a wonderful day that came with a bonus, a pay raise, and the selling off of the last of my college fencing gear. Now, don’t get any ideas. I DO live in California. Which means […] more

Travelling companion! I don’t own a dog because it would be cruel and unusual punishment (2nd story 1 bedroom apartment, coupled with 10 hour work days…) so I’ve settled on cats instead. One of my cats is a character. Named Jonah because I’m sure if I threw him overboard my life would be […] more
