I never really considered myself a truck guy, but we had to replace my Fusion and I get sick of asking to borrow my in-laws’ truck all the time for projects around the house, and I need something that can pull a camper, so I bought a truck.

The nerds among you will remember I’ve been looking to return to legal pads for novel work, but most legal pad paper is garbage for fountain pens.

I’ve joked on Facebook a few times that I never expected to be the parent of an athlete and be involved in camps and competitions unless it was related to choir or theater. But Holly auditioned for pom on a whim and made the team and suddenly I’m a pom parent. It really does seem […]

This is what Friday looks like at our house tonight. We’re supposed to get a bunch of snow later tonight and into tomorrow morning, so the weekend will likely be one spent inside reading and writing. Hope your weekend, wherever it is, treats you well.
