I had forgotten I saved to my phone a biographical interview I had with my grandma earlier this year. I won’t go into detail about it, but it was a refreshing experience to listen to it again. Today, I stayed in-town for my after-work DDR session at the local D&B. Distracting and difficult to play…

It is never fun to deal with bumper to bumper traffic on the drive home when your body and legs are just out of it. I hope someday I can reach these arcades using transit in quick time. Caught off-guard by the arcade opening an hour later than expected today, I still made the most…
