- Parting is such sweet sorrow Wil's been exorcising his demons this week -- some of the best writing I've seen on his site. Three posts in a series that are worth a read: Mirror Mirror, Turnaround, and The Big Goodbye. ➡
- Memorial Day weekend I had a pretty decent Memorial Day weekend -- just fairly uneventful, for the most part. Spent most of my time hanging out and relaxing here at the apartment. ➡
