Yes, sometimes Oct 26, 2021

Not Really Oct 26, 2021

I mostly do my work while sitting on my soft leather recliner, or on a love seat (also made of very soft leather) in a certain coffee house in Oberlin, Ohio. Or on other soft leather or cloth armchairs in libraries. Otherwise, I find that I sometimes come down with some mild back discomfort from sitting in one position for too long.
