My 12 year old cousin is visiting from Korea. He wears a bright red athletic shirt with cutoff sleeves and sports a short, spiky haircut. I think he’s miserable here.

Reality check: We don’t have an endless supply of time, but many of us still have a lot of hobbies. So what do we do? How can we find the [...]

I’ve been packing all my junk to move across the country, so updates will be a bit sporadic for the next few weeks. Apologies in advance for slow updates.
