Best Laid Plans
This week my life became simultaneously easier and harder. Explain, you ask? Well, over the weekend we acquired a new (to us) car (more on that in a moment). So no longer do I have to drive Teddy to school while John drives Lorelei. Teddy gets to drive himself!...
A Quarter of a Century
That’s how long ago it’s been, as of today, that John and I have been a couple. On February 16, 1987, he asked me if I would be interested in going out with him, and I bet if he could have seen the future, he would have run the other way instead. But I...
