How have you been? I’ve been away. I just spent a week with my in-laws, and I ONLY have nice things to say. We had fabulous weather, we had lots of fun, and I discovered something about myself: I am naturally a rigid and rule-oriented person (this is not part of my self-discovery; I knew that already) but with […]
