Hipster hobby predictions: advanced hopscotch, monkey bar battles, swing jumping.

Game idea: work out the logistics and timing of transporting the princess to another castle.

Is it unethical to get samples of new ice cream flavors when I’m certain I’ll get balsamic strawberry? Is it nicer to pretend I’m uncertain?

She called him “Dyfed”, which I just assumed was a quirk of her British pronunciation of David, until I saw his name written. Dyfed. Huh.

I’m calling this the start of Summer. t.co/0YtoxVoj

New July 4 tradition: re-memorizing world countries & capitals. I’m rusty enough that this year will just have to be the Americas.
