Cutting the cord
We did it. I just dropped off our Comcast equipment and I hope to never have another cable box again. The combination of Netflix and Amazon Prime (services we’ve always had so they were a sunk cost) have slowly grow to eat up pretty much all of our time in front of the television. A week ago I went into the Comcast store to…

Two months
Same old. The cold is becoming more palatable, but I’m still not really riding outside because the sun and cold can permanently affect scar pigmentation during this period.

I look far more normal than the close-up would lead you to believe – not too many get macro all up on my face. Next update in two weeks and then I’ll likely go monthly.

That weather!
If you haven’t been keeping up with our weather, it rained the first 29 days of December. It wasn’t typical Portland light rain either, we had some real precipitation come down. It was kind of awesome, it ended just before making it the full month, and since then it’s been horrifically cold (below freezing!) and windy. This morning, we even woke up to snow. Just…
