I’m supposed to share 6 quirky yet boring and/or unspectacular details about myself, so here goes. Be prepared to be undazzled.

3. I have […]

We signed the waiver that will allow her to be tested for the program, and if she gets in she’ll start next year. We are so proud […]

It seems someone upstairs has their own ideas and plans for my life (too) and while I realize I yet shape my destiny.. that sometimes it’s imperitive I simply […]
