The rain has just stopped, but the air is still moist and sleepy. It is the perfect time to curl up with a book, which is what I will be doing shortly as a part of my daily unwinding ritual. The book d'jour is Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I have been carrying it with me …
Adventure Update
I have been in my new home a little over a month. The storage unit that has haunted me isn't half-way empty as I had planned. I wanted to have the unit cleared out and most if not all of the stuff stashed away in the spare bedroom. Plans, I have reminded myself are meant …
