I love “Archimides” so very much. My RL husband and life’s partner, he is often the voice of reason when I start to getting overwhelmed.

We got a call today; himself’s mom passed away early this morning. I want to once again extend thanks on both our behalf, to everyone who helped make it possible for him to go to Ohio and see her. It really means a lot that he got to visit with her and be at her … Continue reading »
