A Little More Birthday
It was an AWESOME day, spending it with some of our kids and sharing our dreams with them. It’s great to have them around and we’re trying to soak it all in. Definitely a perfect birthday. …and yes, I really need a haircut.

Birthday Breakfast
I woke up this morning to a party, thanks to my kids and Mark. We had a fun carefree day and soaked up more of the last days with Chloe crewing on the boat and the adventure of having Chey and Clark aboard. Even the sun re-appeared just in time to make it a brilliant …

Grocery shopping in a language you don’t understand is an …
Bridges And Walls
