Apologies for the delay between posts - I’ve been on vacation in the coastal town of Seaside, Oregon with my family for the last week, trying mightily to avoid my computer and all things associated with it (though tell me to put down my iPhone and that’s another story). In this post I want to […]

First, thanks for visiting the site! Second, I want to ask you a question. How many times have you thought of an idea, errand or task while driving or otherwise out-and-about and completely forgot what it was when the time came around to make it happen? I do carry a notebook for these sorts of […]
