Deep South Roadtrip: Tourism-Lite
Posted on July 28, 2009 by Dan in travel.We left Savannah both celebrating our awesomeness for helping pull of such a great surprise, and also coughing, complaining and wishing for antibiotics.

Not lost, just not found
Posted on July 3, 2009 by Dan in kitties.Lily had a little outdoor adventure, for about 12 hours today. There was plenty of fretting, searching, crying, calling out her name, and fear packed into one emotionally draining day.
