I did this crazy thing, see

I signed up for my company’s running club. Well, that’s pretty harmless in itself. Because it’s just a club, right? But they sent an email last week to inform me that the first race is coming up. In March. Hello? This IS March! March plus a couple of days, in […]

Blurry but sweet

I was playing around with manual focus and forgot to flip it back when we were using the remote. Ah, well. I love this pic anyway. It shows the lovely sunshine we’ve been having the past few days. We’ve needed it. To counteract the miserable cold. February wears me out. […]

Day 11: Cup #3
