Grandma

Cleaning out my grandparents’ house for an estate sale, my mom and her sisters found this picture. They said they never knew how much I looked like Grandma Blair until they saw this picture—but I knew.

Baby’s First Stitches

Avoid distracted commuting. (See more at dailyhap.com) I learned a lot of things on Sunday. I crashed my bike into a parked car (in the bike lane, to be fair) while trying to grab crumbles of homemade protein bar out of the above plastic baggy. The car suffered only a broken taillight. I suffered only a deep…
