Wool Has Many Fine Properties…
…but traction really ain’t one of them. Ouch. This weekend, I was up at my parents’ house where they have hardwood just about everywhere. I was also being a bit silly and stole The Blanket Theif’s bandana and was running around the house with it. I was also wearing these socks: While running, I took […]
