Then Pippin came up and wanted to play. Chaucer was doing his best Batman impersonation by sitting on the dresser – staring at me. Anyways, it’s the end of the… Read More
Life And I want these words to make things right but it’s the wrongs that make the words come to life October 6, 2025 It’s fucking cold out there everyone. Fall has come to North of the Wall. It feels like 20° out there. We are not impressed. I’m mostly dressed, but sadly I can’t go out in what I’m wearing. So yeah I can’t wait for the handy man to fix our furnace…. Read More
