Owning a home is empowering but also scary as hell. Especially when your home is 100+ years old.

Despite the fact that the conditions were dangerously icy yesterday and I fell multiple times, jamming my thumb really hard once and landing on my ass hard enough to create a bruise that I almost felt compelled to name, I absolutely LOVE cross-country skiing.

From tepid to hot to steamy

My oldest son will sit on the couch with a hunk of cheddar and go to town, while my middle guy will only eat soft Italian cheeses like mascarpone or ricotta, preferably sweetened.
