Greetings to all my avid readers!  *counts them: one, two... three?*  :(  I'm well overdue for a posting, so I'm making a quick one now before I forget again.

I never did post about our Alabama trip a few weeks back to visit

Sitting here at Steve's basement computer, I pause to consider... why am I here?  Oh yes!  To move stuff from Brian's bedroom to a neutral location, then

I'm right in the middle of two hectic weeks.  Earlier in May, I was asked by a client to provide a business presentation on our services.  What a great opportunity!  Of course, I accepted.  So Wednesday afternoon, Dale and I left for Missouri.  On the way there, we saw many tourist/cultural attractions, mostly caves, which we would love to have ( Read more... )
