On one hand (the hand I always start with), I did not accomplish all I intended for this trip.
On the other hand (the hand I often manage to continue on to), I was able to make the trip, am already booked for the next one, and can easily imagine it’ll go better.

For at least a year, our medium* child upon seeing my desktop background has proclaimed “sahn-da-WEECH”. Sometimes even “sahn-da-WEECH-a”.
