Saturday Morning Update
Anent the previous entry: It was such a great morning, we decided Donna needed a new bike. She has a fitting on Monday, and I’ll pick it up on my way home from work.
Saturday Morning
If updates have been sparse lately, it’s not due to laziness. I’ve started a new project for the Half-Mind Weblog, interviewing hashers who’ve had an influence of hashing and hashers. Hashing?
