Last week, I had the opportunity to go to the Nasher Sculpture Garden with my mom and my children. I’ll let that sink in for a minute: I went to an art museum. Willingly. And dare I say I even enjoyed it? And this time I managed NOT to ask questions like “These are all… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Canvas Stretcher Edition

Deported!
Back in November, Matt was assimilated. He was implanted with a “power port” which would be used to administer the chemo drugs. We know it was really a Borg device that would be used to download the intelligence of the collective and speed the process of turning Matt into a Borg drone.
