I have been the worst blogger ever. When things are well (or at least busy), I get so caught up in the happenings of the universe, that I forget to write. It’s like I go through stages of intense thinking and living, and feel like I have to absorb it all for a long time, [...]
I went to Austin last weekend for the TDP Convention. The other blog I write for did not get to publish my post in time, so I’d figure I’d post it here.
