We are off to parts known but not revealed until next week! …
Airstream Update
If I could save time in a bottle I’d give it to my husband so he could get more hours inside the 1969 Airstream we”re renovating.  I say “we” even though I haven’t done a thing yet! I’m involved in decisions but no actual effort until after the grunt work is done. …
We Aren’t Doing Enough
You’re likely aware of the plight of Dr. Tarek Loubani and John Greyson.  But depending on where you live they’re known as “two Canadians” jailed in Egypt without charges for more than a month.

I vividly recall running toward the plain of ice and recoiling in horror as a stranger next to me suddenly began urinating on its edge. Â …
Cowtown Trip
