My daughter Sarah was at Target yesterday doing some shopping with baby Lennon (now nearing 10 weeks old). At the checkout lane she was behind a woman who was there with her college age son buying what appeared to be things for his dorm. As Sarah watched the mother and her son she recognized that [...]

A brief respite…
Yesterday was my one day home between my trip to Canada and my trip to Maryland to teach a class for FEMA. It was almost 12 AM by the time I walked in my front door Friday nite (but I guess that is technically Saturday morning). I had to unpack, launder, and pack again on [...]

A member of my clan that wants [...]
