Taking a bit of a break today. I’ve been watching the Nationals Figure Skating competition and now I’ve switched over to The Golden Globes. It’s nice to pull myself out of my own life and live vicariously through the triumphs and failures of others for a while. Now, I just want to go ice skating and watch movies…
