Knitting

Get crackin’, woman!

The Dallas Stars have their first preseason home game this week. (Incidentally, the last Texas Rangers game we’ll be going to this season is the following day. Two sports. My two favorite sports.

But in one […]

Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes other people actually show up to the networking meetings you’re ostensibly attending, and you spend […]
