A tart and sweet little piece of bliss at the top of a mountain on a clear day.

It was a blissful nine days of slack. So slack, we barely even planned out any slacking. We did some necessary shopping the first couple of days, then some unnecessary shopping after that, via some extra earnings from Danielle's job. Then we... uh... hell.

Chatting with Danielle, Tim, and Brantley night before last, and we got the subject of DragonCon again, since we're in the new year.

Danielle's clutch went out. No, not the clutch, the whole damned clutch system. $1100. But at least they fixed it in two days as promised, and she says it shifts much easier than it used to now ( Read more... )
