This weekend involved no major adventures unless you count trying to convince a toddler to sit still at a brunch where six adults were all discussing the mid-term Congressional elections.  I’d recount the conversation but I wasn’t paying any attention to it.  I was reading a book about cement mixers to C. to try and [...]

I’m planning to make some changes to the design around here over the weekend so if you stop on by and things look wonky, don’t be alarmed!  Just assume that I’m sitting at my desk, hair disheveled, with a large cup of coffee beside me trying to make everything all purty.
