26 years ago on this date, Mt. St. Helens erupted violently, spreading ash across much of the northwest - enough so that my father, on his way to work in Missoula, MT, would scrape some off the hood of his car as a keepsake for his newborn son named...Jason Hagglund.
My gift to myself will be to...work faster! ;)
Sorry (yet again) for my lack of productivity here. It has to do with an overflowing abundance of it elsewhere in my life, which I'll tell y'all about when I finally get the time.
