Monday, Bloody Monday

UGH. Today was one of those days.
Tuscon was fun on Sunday and I stayed a bit later than I expected, talking to friends. On the drive back up to Phoenix I got to listen to a Sun’s game (exciting 1 point win in the last 35 seconds) and stopped at a huge wine/beer/liquor store [...]

A Secret Atlas Sneak Peek
