There have been A LOT of things that have taken place and, honestly, I don't know that I would have… Continue reading Finding Time Again
A bit of an update
The last few months have been INSANE.I finally had a minute today to sit down at my computer and do something other than research, type, or edit (although I do still have to do the latter) a paper, review, or assignment.

He did so well that he qualified for the all star team at the end of the regular season. This meant… Continue reading Confession time.
