A little pep talk from dad


Nice day to spread your wings • Did I say this weekend? They say sooner!


Catchin’ up with the Tweet Tweets

Mama House Finch, who never misses anything

Will has been especially fascinated with their eyes

Affirmation of a Holier Confidence


Got pulled over Friday night for the first time in years. Nine years if memory serves, which is a pretty good stretch considering that in the years preceding that I estimate being pulled over between 30 and 50 times. (Don’t ever let people tell you you can’t change 🙂)

Last week’s warning (phew) could have been avoided if I had

  • bothered to get the car reregistered … last October (oops)
