As can happen this time of year, tonight we had a terrific downpour in the evening. We went out to run an errand and have dinner. After running the errand, it was apparent that the freeway underpasses were flooded, so we changed our dinner plans and went to Mimi’s instead. I suppose it was somehow … Read more
In about a month, we’re going to take James to Taiwan to meet the rest of the family. As I’ve done in the past, I plan to post a regular journal of what happens on the way. In a way, it’s quite funny, I was doing the complicated, pain-in-the-rear daily post thing before they came … Read more
