I had a couple more people subscribe to the blog today. Welcome!
While I have reached my goal, I hope you find value in the archives of my blog. I don’t post as much as I used to, and when I do it seems to be with some simple revelation of something, somehow, I knew all [...]
I have really been absent for a while! The last you heard from me I was complaining about Halloween candy and getting ready to attend a wedding. Well, the wedding was really nice. Lucky (or unlucky) for me, Hershey kisses were the party favors. I love Hershey kisses. I think my avid readers are well [...]
