Back from WA

Justin and I are back from Washington. We had a really great time with Adam and Megan and Keller (the cat). The flight from Cincinattie to Seatac seemed to take forever, but the flight back wasn’t too bad. Here’s a breakdown of the weekend:
Arrival – Thursday:
We finally got to Adam’s around 1:30 [...]

So, I’m putting up ads on PhragMunkee.com and ChattaLAN.com and asking anyone who makes use of the server to consider making a donation. Hopefully they aren’t too [...]
