I’m leaving on a jet plane on Saturday morning (can you hear John Denver in the background?), which makes me happy. I really like airports and the whole flying process, not to mention the vacation that goes with the flying. I even like some good, old-fashioned turbulence. In order to get the most out of…
Mercy and Grace for Smaller Critters
I’ve recently discovered that my attitude towards bugs swings wildly between all-out war and “the more the merrier.” One example of this is that there were two roaches on my front stoop the other night.
