Busy, busy, busy

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Gary

I was busy cooking dinner when there was a sudden, almost frantic, knocking at the front door. I dropped my knife and went to answer it. Gail was standing there asking if we had guests. I shook my head then … Continue reading →

350

Posted on September 2, 2016 by Gary

Today, 350 years ago, London burned. There’s a lot of commemorative things going on in London today and over the weekend. Sadly we’ll probably not be seeing any of them…given they’re in London. This morning, in Nero, I ran into … Continue reading →
