Read moreYHC was up at 4:50, right as the first batch of that sweet, sweet bean finished brewing. One cup for me, the rest in the airport, the second batch started. I almost lost track of time (cat, book, comfy chair, a recipe for disaster…), but I...
Read moreSo, when I started the mad tagging spree while eating my sad desk lunch, I thought, “Let’s try and get some guys on tomorrow…” I was not trying to start a competition. But the Nantan had other plans. And if it WAS a...
Read moreOk, look. I was not a Bells and Whistles. I have documentation. Check my texts; there was no chatting with Spicoli the day before. I independently came to the card-themed workout looking for something to keep us under the overhang, should we need...
