apologies for the lack of posts — my past week:

  1. flew to Anchorage Alaska
  2. took a helicopter to bear glacier lagoon
  3. slept in a yurt there
  4. kayaked around ice bergs
  5. took a small plane to Denali
  6. flew to Atlanta
  7. watched England play in the world cup
  8. flew back to Louisville
  9. played lots of deadlock.

(oh and the weekend before this I was in Chicago with Persky and friends!)

“Ok, so tomorrow [at the baseball game], both teams will bat?” — englishman learning about baseball

I was talking to the owner at our local board game store and he said most of the time they sell through their entire allotment of booster packs in the first day!

My Matic robot vacuum is soooo good!

that’s $0.025 per ladybug
