Rocky Woods

Bad Day Soup

I had a rather frustrating day. I won’t go into it, but when Yen came home, he determined that I deserved a day off from the gym. But, he declared,…

Ballroom Dancing

We’ve been meaning to go see our friends Kevin and Stephanie at one of their ballroom competitions for a long time now. This morning they had one pretty much right…

Ruby’s (not Chandler) Birthday
