Wherein I summarize this year’s Hallowe’en

And now it’s November.
The family spent the weekend in Ohio catching up with friends. I want to thank Jeanne and family for hosting us as we attempted to close out a quite surreal portion of our lives. I hope that most of the candy wrappers were mine and not my childrens’. 
The kids went as a [...]

Let’s go to extendo, and pick up The Seen

It rained the day the Wife graduated from college, which forced the school to put the commencement ceremony in the school gym instead of out on the beautiful lawns surrounded by singing birds and early-morning mist and sunlight.

Qu’est que c’est que “extendo”?

Those of you who went to a little college an hour away from Columbus, two from Cleveland and three from Cincinnati might be interested in the following tidbits. Those of you who didn’t may look away.
