Is there such a thing as “getting back to Normal”? If there is, that’s where I’m getting to. I made it home from my last trip (and yes, ultimately did get out of hell… and got my bag back, too!). We had our first out of town guests come for … Continue reading
I fully intended to start working my way through the list of post-move topics, and I will eventually get to that stuff. But at this very moment, my attention is occupied by a little problem I’ve discovered I have. I didn’t realize it until after getting settled in my hotel … Continue reading
