In Chinese culture, the number 8 is considered extremely lucky and fortunate. So today is the 8th day of the 8th month, and if you add the digits 26 in 2026, it’s another 8. So I’m kinda hoping for that same luck today. Starting off with a trip to Syracuse to drop off my entries…

Holy cow, we’re in August already? How did that happen? Well, if we’re in August, that means we still get at least one or two more months of sun before the autumn leaves start changing color. And I’m good with that. It also means that since this is Saturday, it’s time to check out the…

Hello and good morning, my fantastic blog readers. I’m currently taking care of various chores for the weekend, and I hope you’re working on some loose ends of your own.
