My daughter was in Seattle for a conference this past week. She was accompanied by her husband and her dog. I’m a very fortunate person, she and I talk and Facetime all the time. And as they were driving out of Seattle they told me they were driving around the Olympic Mountains via the US […]
Stumbling and Rumbling, with or without a Switchblade
