Good morning! Let’s dive in. What crisis occurred this morning: I woke to the news that the electric coffee pot was not working. This was not good. This was very, very bad. I pulled out my phone and looked up the hours of the nearest Starbucks (luckily, we’ve got at least three within a […]
It has been a good week for interesting links around the web, and I have saved several in my travels. As regular readers know, I usually do this post on Saturday.

Ah summertime….I've been on vacation, I've been slacking…no scratch that last one, I have not been slacking since I got home. There's much to do to catch up from vacation and get ready to be out of the country for three weeks. Awk! The thought of it makes my heart pound–in a good way and […]
