It’s time to stop talking about it
If everything goes according to plan, in six days my youngest daughter and I will be driving to Denver, CO. We will then spend the next two days standing in REALLY long lines with thousands (perhaps tens of thousands) of other … Continue reading
Let’s try this way
I didn’t want to go home on the same road that I took to get there. So, instead of taking the safe route (I-35), I chose to take I-44 east… You might ask, “What is so risky about that? It’s … Continue reading
