Still Here, But Busy

The Last Gentleman

Friends, I wish you could have been there.
After telling the best John Bobbit joke I’d ever heard, the sweaty, fat man languidly undid his shirt, nigh down to his navel…

It ain’t no use putting up your umbrella till it rains

Wikipedia sayeth:
The custom of the bridal shower is said to have grown out of earlier dowry practices when a poor woman’s family might not have the money to provide a dowry for her, or when a father refused to give his daughter her dowry because he did not approve of the marriage. In such situations, [...]

Apologies for the long break. The move is finally complete! My parents came down on Friday to help us unpack, clean, and organize. Yesterday we left town with our friends the Gum’s for a wonderful fourth of July picnic on a farm in Roanoke, Virginia. The food and company were awesome. Click “Read more” below [...]

Moving Week

This week has been totally insane. We moved two apartments, Sue disappeared (that was scary!) but is found thanks to the SPCA. We continue to unpack and organize the new house in our free time. Last night we made a really good dent in the unpacking and sorting. I am so excited to be setting [...]
