Rearview Mirror

It’s not easy coming up with a “year in review” post title that hasn’t been done to death. So yea, rearview it is. Looking back, quite a lot happened here this year, especially for a place where not much happened. I mean, I simply didn’t write much in 2008. And yet… Early in the year, [...]

First Thing Christmas Morning

We had a lovely Christmas. It started with our beautiful daughter coming into the bedroom to wish us Merry Christmas. ::some backbround::Weeks ago, I walked past LG as she was reading her email, and I caught a glimpse of “fat man grabs…” and something that looked like “..ass.” I have cautioned her about friends sending [...]
