Superbowl Sunday

In the heart of a damp and chilly winter, during this past snowy Saturday, I dreamed a bit of warm breezes, sun dresses, and the farmer’s market at the local train station. And while digging through my archives, I found this … Continue reading
Breakfast of Champions

A Blais of Glory
As a confirmed procrastinator, my life’s motto is often better late than never. And so it goes with this post, which I couldn’t quite get around to penning until now. Two weeks ago, my sister and I put on short … Continue reading
