G(R)ASPING AT MEMORIES
Change. Exciting. Terrifying. Distressing. Unavoidable. If you haven’t met Sierra, then let me tell you that we have perhaps the sweetest yellow lab on the planet.

THE ART OF TIME SUCKAGE
When done well, procrastination is high art. The ability to avoid doing truly important things by convincing yourself (and others) that trivial tasks are actually vital is not a light undertaking.
