Not Really Oct 26, 2021

I mostly do my work while sitting on my soft leather recliner, or on a love seat (also made of very soft leather) in a certain coffee house in Oberlin, Ohio. Or on other soft leather or cloth armchairs in libraries. Otherwise, I find that I sometimes come down with some mild back discomfort from sitting in one position for too long. Now that the leaves on trees around here will soon be showing off their beautiful fall colors, I will, though, be stretching my body at least somewhat by walking al... See more
