I’ve begun writing posts and not quite been able to bring myself to complete them. Our weather out here is getting seriously freaky, though not as bad as Nashville. We’ve had warm sunshine, heavy rain, hail and wind so heavy that trees stand sideways – in the same day. Overnight, the temps dropped to the 30s. If it wasn’t for the fact that my mother-in-law is coming to spend the summer with us (and the other fact that the oil spill is about to mess stuff up for a minute in the boot) I’d be looking at at least half a summer of hanging out down south.

I’m still reading and learning about what in the world went on with that incident in Times Square.  The surprising part to me is that something like this has not happened sooner, and that’s very sad.
