Much to my dismay, I missed slicing yesterday because I left my computer at school, which never, ever happens! I seriously considered driving an hour round-trip to retrieve it merely so I could slice. Instead, I dove into a book and I had planned to slice today about that and my lovely tech-free evening. But then today happened. And today was just an irresistible invitation to write!
