Finding what matters

nobody@vox.com(shutterbuginfl) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 22:40:06 -0400

The days have been full of a lot of thinking, a lot of hiking, some geocaching, some waymarking, and spending time with the kids. Things that I won't mention have brought me to terms to the state of my own parents' health. This is a public blog s...

New betta and new 1 gallon tank. It's a very happy little fish. We also purchased the replacement tank for Michael's fish. Tom can take care of that any time he decides to before Michael gets home. I did manage most of the errands that were plann...
