Time Flies
So they say and it is true. I am finding myself at the computer so many hours of every day yet I don’t seem to find the time to write much for my blog. I’ll have to do better again. On the up-side, being so very busy, and even busier in the weeks leading up […]
More‘I could never resist the call of the trail’
So Buffalo Bill said. I can’t resist it either. Well, not quite the same trail, but a trail it is nonetheless. For me, it’s the light trail.
