Last night I experienced something that defies logic or description. I went to the National Air Guitar Championships. That’s right–air guitar. Speaking of things white people like. . . I am now intimately acquainted with the art of air guitar. Words are so not sufficient to explain the chaos. The evening began with dinner atContinue reading “Air Guitar”

The Follmer’s came to visit family in the DC area last week and I was able to spend the morning with them. I love these kiddos! We had a great visit, shared stories, laughs, and canteloupe. Yum!

This week I’ve been working hard preparing for my new quarter that starts in 4 weeks. (It’s a ways away, but I’m trying to get ahead.)
