Weekend Highlights, Dec 12-13
It’s a long story, but I’m still on hiatus. It’s funny, I was driving to the boondocks yesterday thinking how much I cherish the open spaces of the Southwest, thinking how nice it was to be in the middle of nowhere driving into the sunset… And then I couldn’t find an internet connection to save my life! Having arrived at my destination safe and sound at last, I finally have a connection and I can finally get this ‘Weekend Highlights’ out to you. Thanks again for your patience while I continue to ignore Old Man Winter and soak up more warm sun and blue skies!
