We moved, we had guests, more guests, races to prepare for, nesting to be done, shelving to be built and hung. While bucking routine is nice to change things up, I do enjoy routine.

In food, running, life.  It was Valentine’s Day Weekend which has never meant a thing to me one way or another. Like most holidays, I don’t get swept up in the commercialism and hype.
