As the seasons turn
The way things are going around here we might remember this as The Year Without A Summer. I know, I know, there are always some hot sunny days in September, and we all act astonished and say “Imagine! Here it is the middle of September and it’s really hot!” but I’m not counting on it […]
Planning to have fun, Chapter One: Pickleball and goose poop
August 22, 2009

While Nabe was occupied, the Disreputable Duo and I explored the hiking […]
