- let it snow?
Just to let you guys know, as Portland is in the midst of more snowy days in a row than I can ever remember (it is like I have been magically transported back to freakin’ Omaha), as long as I can safely make it to work, the shop will be open. If there is ice [...]

- Month One: No New Clothes?
It has been a full month since I took my vow of “no new clothes.” How have I done? I bought a pair of boots that were “allowed” under the terms of the original vow. They will keep my feet dry and comfy while walking around Portland (and Kyoto!) this winter.
I also bought a new [...]
