I guess we’re most thankful that Joe and Heidi, and Morgan (the dog,) Rory, and Rufus (the guinea pigs,) escaped the fire last weekend. And we’re grateful for all the other disasters we avoided too, even the ones we were unaware of. The day was bright and cold, the food delicious, and the company easy […]

Incredibly. We spent the day up north with Jay’s parents. It as a good time. My mother in law is an excellent cook, and the gang all played cards. Alicia and Dan were there with b.g. and y’all know how I feel about that little nut. The most popular toy of the day was Great-Grandpa’s

Oh dear. I have a real estate deal crumbling around the edges, so frustrating and upsetting. The outcome is unknown at this time. And our accounts receivable continues to climb, as does our own pile of bills, which will eventually be due. Nobody’s paying. Oh, ouch, ouch, ouch. So I’ve defaulted into stress mode and
