SSAB - September 1, 2025

Back in the Ping of Chang, and into the room of class. Argumentative essays on tap. The cookie shop lady remembered me. What would I do if I knew I was going to quit in four months? Good question. Cause that’s where I was last year at this time. Grinding to get that last Australian video out, same with a Beijing-based video I shot on Saturday. SLV podcast to be shot tomorrow, need to work on another schedule. One workout in, but no run. Figured I could do it tomorrow. Donate to the show!
