Florence is one of my favorite places on Earth. No doubt, this is because when I studied abroad there (4th year at JMU), I happened to have several lifelong friends along for the ride (that’s you Z, Mase, and Nels) and met another while there (that’s you Ray). I’d only been out of the country […]

Short and sweet update: Now, for the important stuff: I am done with the short film I’ve been messing around with off-and-on for months.

Quick update: C is now 100%, T is close to 100%, M is much better last day or two, as well. C is still in QT with T and M, until they’re all in the clear. A is still fine (maybe retest him or get him antibody test at some point?). B is well past

First, a most important note: Tegan’s MRI was cancelled at the last minute by insurance (no comment) – it’s now been moved to another location next Thursday. She’s doing okay at the moment, walking a bit more, getting wheelchair rides, etc. Let it be said that she is almost comically tough though, so it’s hard
