I'm on Spring Break this week. Other than keeping tabs on my bathroom renovation, there isn't much fun or frolicking going on. I recorded this little update on the freeway so pardon the hustle and bustle in the background.

Breaking news is on the way! After not quite 5 months in "retirement", I’m taking a step in the direction of a new dream.

Last week I began sharing how my New Year got off to an unexpectedly messy start. This week I continue sharing the saga--picking up where I left off. In a nutshell, after a New Year's Eve party, I ended up going to pick Linny and a friend up in the wee hours. Much to my chagrin, on the way home said friend got sick and prolifically threw up in the back seat of my car. In this week's episod...
