I haven’t posted in a while. Oh well. I made a connection that seemed profound as I was falling asleep last night and thinking about how fortunate I am. Don’t stare at the rocks. This was the first useful piece of advice I received when I was learning to mountain bike. It works like magic. […]

Most of this year I’ve been pretty removed from the campus party scene. In general I don’t miss it, but it has its place and this weekend was a good example. Friday I got dinner with my parents and Meg and they met and no one said anything too embarrassing about me, so that was […]
