Amidst the wacky dreams I had last night was the nagging thought that I had, at some point, heard Firefly say “well, it snowed last night.” Much of my morning consisted of rolling over to get the sun from glaring directly into my face (without disturbing the cats that were surrounding me like the good […]
As a computer guy, I spent boxing day as I sort of figured I would… setting up other people’s new electronic toys.
