Today is a day of good news bad news. The good news was that the Mrs. was able to get her art project finished in time. Which is great because it is scheduled to be shown at a gallery in London. I’ll add more info to that later. The final version can’t be revealed yet … More Migraines
Right off the bat let me say that I don’t plan to go into my personal politics very much on this site. I have some strongly held views that some might agree with and others might not.

But today had something a little special: we made … More Today I Got Pie

The last one was pretty thrilling. This night brought a little sadness with it. One of the perks offered through the Indiegogo campaign was original art … More Getting ready to ship…
