I had a bad night’s sleep, possibly stressing over the house renovation, and stayed up reading the first 200 pages of Joe Abercrombie’s A Little Hatred, which is best described as Game of Thrones meets[…]
A start to the week
My wife had her second dental appointment this morning, and so after a night where Destroyer slept sideways across our bed, and La Serpiente had me up and down for half the night, I sprang[…]
Backgammon and trying to help
I woke up really late today for no apparent reason, and bumbled around the house a bit. La Serpiente and I had a game of backgammon and I decided to go easy on her, making[…]
