Day Eleven: Scaling it Back (Me, not Barth)

Day Six
Today, I think, is another taking it easy kind of day, partly because it is Saturday and my dog is somehow simultaneously giving me the puppy dog eyes and the evil eye, cause we should be well on our way … Continue reading

So, I really am going to take it easy today… in large part because today’s reading is really more of the same, and I don’t have much left to say about it. Basically, Barth continues to etch out the importance … Continue reading
