So, the roof is coming along. Dave is doing most of it by himself, after work, and it’s slow going. The roof is in two layers: redwood shakes over cedar shingles. Lots of debris. Everywhere. But it is getting done and it will be great to have a ne...

It’s the middle of the night and I can’t sleep again… There’s just so much going on in my head that I cannot rest, I guess… Thoughts swirling around in my brain; random thoughts about a myriad of subjects. None defined enough to share here…. Just ...
