Thanks to the tremendous WordPress community, I’ve got some neat things in store. For a sneak peak visit BinaryBonsai to get an [...]

Fern’s bother returned this morning (4 AM I think) from his tour of duty in Qatar. We will see him tomorrow night along with Fern’s parents who are driving out. We’re glad that he is back; he will still be on active duty until January, but stationed near here at Dover AFB so we’ll get [...]
