So long, and thanks for all the fish

So long, and thanks for all the fish

I can never resist stealing that line from Douglas Adams. It’s just so good. A few people said to me when I was mulling out loud about the future of our blog and social media feeds, that I’d know what to do when the time came. You were right. Thank you. I had thought I […]

Transitions

Every time I sit down to write, I get distracted. Usually, by looking at pretty houses, or by making our homecoming plans.
