Even the hashtags from my… Continue reading Wherein I have a good laugh
You know I'm moving, right? I've mentioned it on social media and on this post. Even in this time of active social media news sometimes travels slowly.

Over the weekend my sister and… Continue reading On Following Directions

Mysteriously my room was not available when I arrived at my hotel very late on Eclipse day. Knoxville was in the path of totality so many people added to the local economy staying in… Continue reading well, then there was the trip to Oak Ridge
