Read More: Color Challenge Finalists for JulyI know it’s cliche to say, but time really does fly. Hard to believe it’s already August. The first day of August brings with it a few tasks, such as judging the last Color Challenge, taking down my library display, changing the blog header, and remembering to call my parents for their anniversary. But since […]
Read More: August, already?As long as I’m asking questions, how about this one? I could use some opinions regarding my personal website’s background.

I’ve been looking forward to this weekend and the opportunity to tackle a pretty decent-sized to-do list. I’ve been blessed with sunshine and open-window weather, both of which are often prerequisites for my productivity, so there’s […]
Read More: DichotomyI would say that normally we lead a very quiet existence here in the swamp. The phone rarely rings, people don’t often come over. But today?
