another in the Sunday Seven Series
It’s post-surgery day T+24. My recovery continues more or less without issue. My right hand and arm continue to improve slowly, and I’m still not seeing much of an uptick in my left hand. I’m only wearing the cone o...
me and Sia
Hey! Still here. Been too busy the last couple of weekends to continue what had been a pretty good streak of weekly dispatches. I’ll get back to it once we get through graduation season.
A quick update on the neck situation is in or...
shaving is a challenge

Dawes at the Chop Shop in 2023
My phone was blowing up last Sunday as I was driving from Logan to the hotel I stay at near my office in Lexington. Everyone I know wanted me to be aware that Dawes was opening the Gra...
there’s a light, what light
