Sorry for the unannounced vacation. Summer is always a busy time for us, with birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and travel. Additionally Jill and I are undergoing some life changes both major and minor (don’t worry, they’re mostly positive ones). Something had to fall by the wayside temporarily, and we apologize for letting our blog take the hit. Having said that, though, we spent the last month doing the sort of things that will make excellent reading. Stay tuned!
