I’ve got a serious case of the holiday spirit. Between yesterday and today the gift shopping and decorating were tackled. I made my own wreath, #87. Thank you very much.
Speaking of the list, I’m realizing that number 78 is going to be near impossible to accomplish. Brian and I have been working hard to whittle [...]

The Teal Turtles played the Glow Worms yesterday in the league opener. The Worms seemed bigger and more experienced than the Turtles but (lucky for us) score is not kept in micro-league soccer games.
