We’re off to the shore for a short little respite. We’ll be back in a few days with (hopefully) some rested bones and not too much sunburn. Have a great end of week everyone!

Like my southern accent? A little something I picked up while living in FL… anyway, sorry it’s been so long since I’ve had anything to say, I guess it’s been a busy week. The coming weeks are about to get busier, but I’ll try to be a bit more organized…

… and Happy Birthday, Momo9!
When I was younger, I took a lot for granted. Now that I’m (a little) older, and am more aware of the world around me, I realize how fortunate I am to live in this great country. Nations, like people, are not perfect, but I would not want to live any other place [...]
