I’ve have written before about my son’s wife who, in February, had a massive stroke at age 49. She is making progress. It’s slow but it’s progress and for that we are thankful. The risks I recently took had to do with being with them for an extended stay. I had been wanting – needing [...]
Arms or Fins?

It wasn’t until traffic was almost [...]
