Dates can be painful and confusing, yet also wonderful, memorable or dry.
I was thinking about dates the other day while looking at my calendar, and began to ponder the aspects of them that I like and dislike. Continue reading “It’s fun to elucidate on ‘date’ and ‘ale’ words”

I finally got the hedges trimmed again so that they look nice. It was a lot of work, but I feel pretty good about it.
