Artist's Depiction: Juniorvanian Sleep Lab We had a little bit of excitement around the ol’ homestead last evening. Well, more properly, “early this morning.” Please understand that I can relate much of what follows, of necessity, not by way of a clearly-remembered first hand account, but rather by way of a careful post facto […] Quickly: I can advise that we have safely and soundly alighted in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area. Our flight was uneventful, though we had some considerable difficulty locating the “Park” portion of the “Park ‘n Fly” near Pearson International in Toronto yesterday. It is warm and – as the weathermen say – “mostly sunny” in […] Spouse and I are jetting off this morning to sunny Florida to visit with her parents.
