There are moments in our lives when a little switch flips in our minds and we become something new, we redefine ourselves. I suppose you'd call these defining moments.

Some of my favorite books growing up were written by the fabulous Cornelia Funke. They were funny, beautifully detailed, filled with rich and wonderful characters and they felt so real that often times I felt as though I had to read with my eyes closed.

So, I've been sick for about a week now. Every morning I wake up and try to convince myself that I'm not sick. I'm generally back in bed by noon. I hate being sick. I hate how absolutely useless I become. And when I say useless, I mean useless. If I don't spend the day... Continue Reading →
I've really been enjoying posting everyday this past week and I'd like to continue the trend. Now, I may not always have as interesting a subject as documenting a bow making class, but I shall try and post something thought provoking, or entertaining, or at least something not too trivial or banal everyday.
