We’ll be leaving for our trip to the Midwest this Friday after work, hoping to be on the road around 4:00-ish.

She has apparel, pictures in her (our) house, she talks about it constantly. In fact, she had an annual trip planned with her mother […]
As we sail through the month of March under social distancing and stay at home orders, getting out to see the sights I’ve sought has been impossible. But fear not! My plans and desires persist and shall not fail! I’ve had some developments recently that will allow me to travel more, more frequently, and to […]
