Hey folks,

It's officially fall! Which ushers in the best season for baked goods: Apple pie, blackberry pie, rhubarb pie, pumpkin pie, coconut creme pie... Oh sorry, what was I saying? I drifted off into a pie daydream... 🥧🥧🥧

Hey Folks,

We're still recovering from the beginning-of-semester bugs here. So far I've managed to avoid getting it, but that may not last for much longer... 😬

Hey folks,

Another tough week. While fall brings in my favorite season, it also brings in activities ... and germs. Thank goodness for modern medicine! 🍂😮‍💨🤒

My wife and I went canoeing this week and one section of the lake was COMPLETELY STILL like a mirror. And quiet. No traffic sounds, no boat motors, just utter stillness. It was pretty magical. When's the last time you experienced a moment of utter stillness? It feels pretty rare...
