I now have a Tumblr page. It’s at http://kpcnsk.tumblr.com/, should you wish to visit it. I’ll be using it for a new 365 project, focusing on writing, rather than photography.
It is what you think it is
Me: I don’t mind paying a premium for things I want, but every time I deal with Bank of America I feel like I’m being ripped off. Kevin: That’s because you are being ripped off. In February I owed $450 and change. I paid $200 of it that month, and in March I owed the …
