It’s cold season here. I’m not talking about the temperatures dipping below freezing at night. (Which they really are.) What I’m talking about is the fact that the Man of the House and I both have colds. I’m consoling myself with the fact that at least it’s not the flu. In the meantime here are [...]

A few weeks ago I started reading The Taking by Dean Koontz. Things have been hectic because of the move. I looked forward to relaxing with a good book.
