Ta-da! Welcome to my Brand New Website. In fact, if you have read this far, then you have likely already arrived and are seeing it in its brand-new glory, with its lovely fonts and clean pages. And photos. Ever so many photos. Of me. (More on that shortly).
Read moreI spent a good bit of time (a Good Bit– read: more than one hour) trying to improve my blog today. My dear friend Lynne recently re-did hers (complete with family photo: family in matching outfits and looking characteristically themselves while walking down a street somewhere in Shanghai (I’m thinking she should and may use […]
Read moreO Reader. I doubt that any of you come here anymore, but just in the least little chance of a case that you do, I think some explanation is in order. School is out, which means days and days of wide open space for me, time like I never know it during the school year. […]
