I’m trying to stick to a weekly schedule for updates here or else I wouldn’t bother. Today, it’s going to be very short. My grandmother, Felismina Roderick, died last night at the age of 85.

I had quite a pleasant experience with Southwest Airlines today, and since it’s understandably rare that people post anything nice about the airline industry these days, I figured I’d share this.
