I can’t seem to get into the spirit this year. Early today, for a brief moment, I felt somewhat spirited when NPR played a medley of Christmas songs performed by a brass band. It was very festive and I found myself happily humming along, but when the songs were over, my Christmas spirit swirled away like smoke in a stiff breeze. I’ve watched several Christmas movies, hoping that

Fall in Colorado I took this photo yesterday on my daily walk. I was going to use it as my new header photo, but can’t bring myself to get rid of the gorgeous mountain photo. I am going to be MIA for a few days. We are headed to Houston to visit Ryan’s uncle and aunt. It’s suppose to be 90 in Houston tomorrow! It

I finally got around to reading it this past weekend. Yes, I did manage to read it in its entirety on Sunday afternoon. The main character, Jacob Jankowski, is male.
