I’ve been preoccupied.
It’s been awhile since I wrote a post of any length or substance and I thought I should at least explain why. It’s not for lack of trying. I’ve got one post I’ve scrapped and restarted 12 times now and...

A small update on my whereabouts.
I’ve not posted anything in over a week and I apologize for that, but I have a good excuse. I was waiting, along with the rest of my wife’s family, for the inevitable to happen. Last Thursday my...

The great house search of 2014 has come to an end.
