You know how the guys in Stepbrothers get all excited about bunking their beds so there will be more room for activities? I get that excited about projects. If bunking the beds in my house would influence that at all, I’d be looking for extra two-by-fours right now. Sometimes I get into productive mode and…

Good Times with Gustav
Today’s good moments are presented by the letter G for Gustav, my car. I spend a fair amount of time in the car–enough time to feel at home in that space. My drive to work this morning was pretty much business as usual for a while. I was running late, which means arriving just at…
