Happy New Year! I say that with utmost sincerity but I’m not quite used to the idea. It doesn’t seem possible that, for better or worse, 2015 is gone forever. Didn’t it just start like yesterday? It sure feels that way,...
It’s been over a month since I posted anything new to my blog and probably high time I remedy that. Thankfully, I’ve got some good news to pass along. I just got back from vacation. No, that’s not the news I’m...
