Bring a sports fan confuses me. Today, Lewis Hamilton won a race for the first time in 945 days. I was happy about it, felt victorious, even. Why? I’ve always been tangentially interested in car racing, but it’s only been a few years since I’ve actually invested myself in following F1. I’m really into it.…

Today was my last day at the school where I was hired into a full-time, permanent position with the school board. In September, I’ll be on to a new adventure in a new environment. Before getting there, I need to rest.

Sharing my intentions is the most effective way to ensure that I won’t follow through on them. I’ve been thinking about writing about the things I’ve learned from woodworking since starting just over two years ago. It might make for an interesting story, and should definitely be a good point of reflection. It might be…
