Journey to 1994
I just realized it's been one full year since I committed to writing my first book, y'all! It's my first first draft-aversary.

5 ways Japan is winning at life
Goooood morning, MyWordVom.com! I've just returned fresh off a twelve hour flight followed by a four-and-a-half hour layover and a swift two-hour connecting flight followed by an hour-long taxi from the airport to home.
