Phew, this last week has been a roller coaster.
Last weekend was a wonderful affair. Laris’ parents gifted us two nights in Duluth’s Canal Park Hampton Inn suite. It’s becoming something of an annual tradition to spend a weekend in Duluth and we both always look forward to it exceedingly. This years trip was particularly wonderful. […]
Happy 2008. May it be joyful and prosperous for all.

People who are e-mail subscribed to my blog may have noticed that recently they have been receiving two or more e-mails notices instead of the usual one. This seems to be the result of a recent Wordpress update not playing nice with my subscription plugin. I’ve updated the plugin and hopefully that will resolve the […]
