She's got some great new ventures she's developing, so I'm happy for her decision and the wonderful things to come.

I figure I can use these cups with … [Read more...]

Dare I continue the story even though the fun is fading into quotidian reality? I'll try...let's see how it goes.After Eugene Peterson's talk on Friday, my anonymous friend headed off to visit a friend while Leslie Leyland Fields and I … [Read more...]
