Measuring as appropriate perfection. Making less be more.

Because it is enough.

  6. You what I like about your blog? About 30 seconds after I start reading it music just starts blasting out of my computer. It took me about 3 minutes to figure out it was your blog the other night. I kept sifting through all of the open windows on my computer wondering where it was coming from!
