Mastatal Still
So for those of you who are wondering… what the heck happened to Janet? I am still alive and still occastionally on the internet… but really not that much has happened and internet time is few and usually expensive.

Day in the Life

Vermont, USA!
Wow, ok so here I am in Vermont. Yup, so I decided that since I have about a month until I plan on leaving for Costa Rica (I have plane tickets for Dec 2!), I might as well do something useful. So I’m working for a family farm in Vermont in return for food and […]
