My kid fell in love with the local agricultural school during a summer camp session. This year our state switched all technical schools to be lottery based. We filled out the application and today was the day. We waited…

One of the nice things about going to my kids swim meet is that I have time to let my mind wander.

A few years ago, I came across a website called "Handwritten. blog." Sadly, it is no longer hosted but you can still see some of it on the internet archive [1].
