Friday Today was Baguette’s last day at the school she’s gone to for the past year and a half (almost). We fought hard to get her into that school, and in the end we succeeded. She spent last year in… Read moreEndings and Beginnings
I wrote 14 posts this year. Sometimes I wonder if I’m still a blogger. What can I say? It’s been a hell of a year. A lot of this is known to people; we all heard about the election, and… Read moreSo Long, 2016
