Go West! (Life is peaceful there…)
Due to complete and utter lack of inspiration and capability, a quick photo-and-word dump of my past week’s experiences:

Back to “Reality?”
Well, unemployment has officially begun (technically, it’s been six days already, but since it was a holiday weekend it took a bit of time to completely sink in). The good news is, my new adventure starts in four days – I leave for Boulder on Saturday!

(And interactive!! It’s FUN, people!!) Continue reading “Chalk It Up to Sheer Insanity”
