That actor in the white beard -- and with the long light brown hair you can just barely see from the back as he walks down the aisle -- is my son. Plays a good old man, eh? This particular episode brought … Continue reading A Super Christmas — Act II

A series of pleasant surprises.
Today is another quick post. For our 20th anniversary on Wednesday I whisked Betsy off Tuesday night to a surprise destination, and we had and enjoyable evening at that destination, and then roamed around Wednesday, just taking a "Sunday drive" and visiting and revisiting sites, until she thought I didn't have any more surprises.
