“You’re going where?”

My wife and I just got back from our big vacation for the year, and it was a pretty incredible one.  We spent nearly three weeks touring two of Europe’s smaller and lesser-known (hence the title) countries, Slovenia and Croatia.  It’s so hard to think of how to sum up this trip, and I could [...]

Limericks

I had a little fun with St. Patrick’s Day yesterday and decided to write all of my Facebook posts in the form of limericks.  I didn’t think I’d come up with that many, but once I got going the ideas flowed much easier than I ever would have expected!  So they don’t drift down my [...]
