Warning: This post is filled with lots of personal info. If you want food photos and recipes they’re here, but you’ll have to gloss over a lot of personal history as well. I thought I’d use this venue to get a serious message out about how our health coverage system is failing [...]

What a Set-up

Looking Back
Remember Justin.tv’s old look and the Channel Bar?

A Happy Place
