Oh, the smartphone. How I love thee. I can do almost anything on the thing: search the web, convert international currency, play the guitar and piano and drums, blog and read blogs, see in the dark, plan meals, and do much more! The kids and I were lamenting, however, over some glaring omissions in the […]

We went up to the summit last week. It’s the only ADK mountain you can drive up (near to) the summit. Franklin Delano Roosevelt apportioned […]
