So, in an effort to keep the blog engine running (I’ve been slacking way to much lately), I thought I’d try another experiment. My birthday was last Sunday. I figure that if I can at least do one post a Sunday as a week in review for this year of my life, it will help [...]
Less than an hour ago (well, at least when I started writing this), I was at a dance party. Oh, it was a fine occasion – formal, but fun. I was decked out in princely robes and the lovely lady I was dancing with was in her finest gown with her nicest slippers. We circled [...]
