Quinn asked me to load some Beatles on his iPad recently and I finally had a moment to do it this morning. He has been really into Here Comes the Sun and chose this song as our first tune of the day. Not a bad way to start a Sunday, I'd say. As the music … Continue reading My youngest son is obsessed with John Lennon and related dilemmas

I miss my neighbors and other random laments from the perpetually busy
It seems like a long time since I've kicked back with my neighbors and enjoyed a bottle or two of wine.

What does it mean? … Continue reading Comings and goings
