Friends, my life is so scattered at the moment, I feel like a sandcastle that’s just been hit by an ice cold wave. Then again — it is self-imposed chaos after three back-to-back trips and a new job. And so, I ask that you hang in there with me while I get...

\ \ I had a few folks over last night to celebrate Matt’s 26th birthday. He isn’t used to such celebrations or being showered with love by new friends. I was so pleased to see so many people who’ve met him in the last two years, and enjoy the...

A couple Mud Run pics, although we didn’t take any “after” shots. It is funny, I kept wondering yesterday why my arms are bruised and my feet are so beat up. DUH! And yes, to be a smart ass I gave myself a mud beard. I like to think of it as a mask....
