Saying that the decision to move was a bit emotional is like saying the ocean is a little damp. So in order to keep myself sane during the long weekend I’ve KEPT BUSY. Because who hasn’t been told that KEEPING BUSY is the best way to deal with any sort of emotional problem? Not that [...]

My niece is a little genius, she has distilled the members of our family into just a few lines. And I don’t know if I understand all of it - but here’s my interpretation.

First - simply as a gimmick to get your attention - here’s a gratuitous baby pic. I haven’t posted any of Amelia lately and she’s growing up so fast, she doesn’t even look like a baby anymore, she looks like a little girl, and she amazes me with how sweet, smart, and funny she is [...]

Thank you all for your compassion and heartfelt inquiries last week.
