This past weekend, among other things, I spent time with Aga, a friend of mine from high school.

We traded blog.journal URLs.

I finally got around to opening up hers (and modifying my front journal page so it had a link to same), and wandered around a bit.

I dropped her an email to say hi. We'll see if that works.
