Don't know where we're going, but we're making great time.
That one big thing we have decided to do in each location. It doesn’t have to be something each of us agrees to — we can each have our own, separate one big thing. Usually we like to do things together.
We simply cannot get away from snow. I’m not sure that Jan is trying that hard, but snow in June was not in my plans. Somehow we ended up thwarted by snow and playing on top of it the same day. How, you ask? Well, Jan had a client engagement in Morton, Washington, which is…
