The family visit and discovery

Last Christmas, I visited my family back east. I have not been there in several years. It was great to see everyone once again; When I went to visit my brother, I was shocked and impressed by something he had in his home. It must have cost a small fortune; she had a smart heating […]

A wonderful evening

My spouse and I went to a great jazz concert the other weekend. The songs were great, the site was good, and most of all, the air conditioning was terrific!
