Musings: #Touch, Connections, and the Branching Paths of Life
Are you familiar with a tv show called Touch? It’s about a little boy who has a talent for making connections between people who need to be connected in one way or another.

Blog: All’s Well That Ends Well
I have been sick all week. Ugh. One of those not-pleasant warm-weather colds. The fever has gone away and overall I feel better, but as of this writing my voice still sounds strange.
