  • School Underway and All Systems Go…so far.

    With the first week of school under our belt, life should settle into a comfortable, but relentless pace.  Sounds dramatic, even if it isn’t wholly accurate.  Suffice it to say it should be relentless for the RTR and I, who are most comfortable in our house potato state.

  • Food, Art, and Heat in Paradise.
