One Last Hurrah

EXPERIMENTATION WITH FIRE: A BOY'S FIRST LOVE

We had to go for a few days without it, but it was totally worth it. I think it just might be a good thing to have "computer-free" days periodically. It's really NOT the end of the world if I can't check my email or facebook on an hourly basis (which I, by the way, DO NOT do).
