not all who wander are lost...
It's been a much more joyful week. On Friday my wife and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. Because of the Buy Nothing boycott we decided to change up our initial plan and opted to do something small each day of the week: Lunch Monday at a local restaurant.

I just updated wand3r to use 11ty! It's becoming my POSSE source for microblogging - quick thoughts, links that don't fit in my postroll on KRRD and "smaller" bits of content. I'm excited to get it going! But - expect things to be a bit messy on the site itself. Sorry about that.

I still can't believe the current executive office is attempting to make a case for excluding Native Americans from citizenship.
