Sacrificing Something I Never Wanted to Lose

I want to dance again. I say this fully feeling my knees aching from a normal day’s walking and knowing that I haven’t been in class in years. I’m old. I’m not in shape to dance. My right foot seems to cramp when I stand up after sitting for too long. And yet, the urge

How Happy Hour Became a Little Weird (aka Things You Learn During a Bomb Threat)

My original post for something new today was a relatively humorous post about the new cider I had discovered during an unplanned happy hour celebration with friends. I may still post that later, but at the moment, I think you would be better served by learning how to make the most of a bomb threat.
