Wow! Happy New Year and kick my butt! January is gone already. I swear if I didn’t take so many pictures to prove to me that January did, in fact, exist, I would swear that someone was tricking me. But I look back through my memory card and there’s the evidence. [...]

Now I realize that I just posted about what all us “old folks” did before the almighty cell phone. And I even laughed at these “youngsters” who don’t have a clue what it’s like to be “unplugged”.
