shawnp0wers Turns out, I need a vacation. No, really. I did a lot of amazing things this past summer, but none of them were really vacation. Yes, we just had Christmas break, but anyone that’s ever celebrated holidays knows it’s the furthest thing from a vacation. So, I’m looking to plan a small weekend getaway. This time, the vacation will be … Read more

I ask, because I live in northern Michigan, and we have icy roads all winter. … Read more
In my Calendar Sales / Cow Dance promotion, I ended up raising $130. Not surprisingly, the large majority of that did not come from calendar sales, but rather cash donations. I’m OK with that. Since the first two goals were met, that means in the very near future (not today, it’s Monday around these parts) you’ll get some sort of … Read more
