I haven’t posted lately because I recently upgraded WordPress and caused by blog to asplode…oops. It took me a few weeks, but I’ve finally sorted it out; yeah! Seondly, let me announce that I’m currently writing this post with a splinted, bandaged, swollen, bruised [...]

I’ve read several heart breaking stories and watched footage and I can’t even imagine the suffering many Japanese families are experiencing today. I wanted to donate funds to help, so I went with an old favorite standby, [...]

Snow, ice and wintry mix, the forecast buzzwords that can be heard everywhere along the North East lately don’t exactly call to mind fun in [...]
