As you can probably tell, I spend a lot of time thinking about things. (Here, it’s specifically relationship and personal internal working stuff, but I assure you there is much much more going on in my head.) Thought is important.

Brief Thoughts Inspired by a Full Weekend
We preempt the previously scheduled sex talk to bring you the following set of semi-random thoughts brought about by a very full weekend filled with good times, good friends, and a surprising number of relationship discussions.
