LIFE in general has been pretty crazy.  We haven’t stopped running since about…oh, last month?  I’ve had this particular post planned and ready to go since…our 2nd day in Chicago, but just haven’t been able to sit down long enough to keep my thoughts together.  Actually this post originally had a different title and began [...]
