A while ago Craig shaved his beard off for the first time in a long time. After I said I liked it, he said that he hated it. Ha. There have been other conversations about his beard as well (weird, yes)… so, being the great friend I am, I decided to make use of my…
A couple weeks ago, Nate was away for the evening, pacing a friend through the Zumbro 100 miler. I put Greta to bed, changed into sweats, and plopped myself on the couch downstairs. I half watched Babadook, a scary movie (Nate refuses to watch them with me, and I secretly love paranormal movies), and half…
