I have had a very long week. Issues getting to work on time in the morning (pouty kids, traffic, forgotten cell phones), people behaving badly, late nights, mental exhaustion, children who don’t sleep, the audit that never ends, catching up … Continue reading

On my day off, I went to have lunch and see this movie at my friend Doug’s house. I wasn’t expecting it to take place in London in the 1970’s. It was a decent movie, but nothing special. Call it … Continue reading
