Last Friday I had the opportunity to get this season’s flu vaccine. It was covered by my health insurance and a medical service was offering it at my office building. I sat down next to the nurse after filling out my paperwork and waiting in line. I preemptively took off my button-down shirt and rolled [...]
I started this blog in 2005 on LiveJournal. I wanted more control over the format and functionality, so I moved to WordPress in June of 2006.
