My imagination tends to fly in a million directions and it takes a cage to keep it focused.

Shawn and I are both collectors and we both reread and collect new books. Fon’t get me wrong, we also have hundreds of ebooks. They are cheaper and don’t take up as much room,…

We have some wonderful neighbors. This morning I was up early, but I never noticed them cleaning the fresh snow off my driveway or digging out my sidewalk. What a nice bunch of people: and while I can guess whom it might be, I can’t be sure. We’ll see if some careful snooping tells the tale.
