Hold Me Closer, Inappropriate Dancer: Christmas Ladder Dancing
Location #7 for the Dancing Inappropriately Achievement is sort of questionable: it was in my own house, and therefore, is it ever truly inappropriate? Couldn’t I just set the rules and say that dancing is always appropriate, no matter how … Continue reading
Black Friday & Putting Up The Christmas Tree

An Ohiopyle Daytrip
As it tends to happen every year (or at least the two years we’ve been doing this), we wind up scrambling a bit for completions in the last month or two of the year. Really, I’d wanted to do this … Continue reading
