Got a better spot than last year, at least as far as pictures go. Speaking of which: here are the rest of the Mardi Gras pictures. (I think that this one is by far the best.) A lot of Obama supporters and stickers out there in the crowd today. Let’s hope that bodes well for […]
After one hell of a week, A. & I decided to take the Friday off to regroup and recupe. A little time outdoors seemed like the perfect way to get our heads at least a little back together. So we jammed out to Mt. Hunger to do that climb. She’d done part of it before […]
