A few months ago, one of my out of town friends (M) asked if I wanted to go to a Phish concert when they came to Philadelphia this summer. He’s a big Phish fan, and I’m someone who likes to…
Friday 5: Scattergories, part 15
Happy Friday! Today is National Merry-Go-Round Day (love them!), National Thread the Needle Day (not a fan of needlecrafts, though I keep trying) and most importantly, a Summer Friday. Not some random Summer Friday, but one that heralds almost a…
