This weird-ass Covid summer is simultaneously dragging ass and flying by. I couldn’t believe that the last post I wrote was back in May. So much has happened since then that it seems almost a lifetime ago. Granted, 2020 seems to have created a bizarre warp in the fabric of spacetime, but still!

Because my hubby was the one booking the accommodation, I wasn’t the one responsible for getting us from the train station to the front door. So naturally, we ended up walking in a massive circle dragging our… Read more »

If you’re a fan of professional basketball in the United States, you know that the Cleveland Cavaliers finally broke the drought of sports… Read more »
