I am a slave driver

I make my only employee turn on her laptop while she’s still rubbing her eyes and stumbling from bed to kitchen. I let her take five minutes to brew a cup of Tazo Awake tea, toast a homemade Strawberry-Blueberry Muffin, and fish a vitamin from the jar, but then I crack the whip. “Sit yerself […]

Where cameras fear to tread

I would have loved to start off this post with an image of our spare bedroom. It is the 2nd largest of our three bedrooms, and is currently housing Neil‘s desk and a bevy of books from Neil’s old store. I wish I could share images of this room with you, because it’s quite impressive […]
