I've created a separate blog for more professional purposes. You can read about the Run for the Fallen and  others things (which are written more eloquently there) that I've posted here at http://revrost.blogspot.com/

It rained in the middle of the night and steam is rising from the still wet fence. I have a ton of things to do to get ready for niece's arrival tomorrow but I'm still feeling hung-over from the week. And actually, since I only had alcohol on Tuesday, this is totally unfair.
