Time is the strangest thing, and that is especially apparent here in Nebraska. I arrived two weeks ago and find myself asking what has happened since. Three hours can pass by like three seconds back home. It’s not that I haven’t been working, I have – on doors, on temples, on crocheting giant socks –…
