Snow day
Even though it’s 70 degrees and sunny in California, I got a snow day because my family and Jill couldn’t get out of NY so I postponed my flight to Utah for a day.

More of a feature film than a tv episode. But it’s over now, and its on to the next volume in what I hope will prove to be a very long and exciting series. This...

Me: (filling arrowhead water bottles because I forgot my nalgene at home) Dude in the Kitchen: You refill your water bottles? Me: Yep, it seems wasteful to only use them once when we have this filtered water, don’t you think? Dude: So, are you like, really conservative? Me: (dumbstruck.
