today I start six weeks break from work. I am really excited. I haven’t had more than two weeks off in 12 years and my usual vacation length is just a few days, maybe a week.

I have a few plans in the works but part of the point of this break is to […]

Just finished reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, well actually I just finished having it read to me via Audible.

Where does the time go, past you
