(I was going to do “I’m not dead yet” but apparently I’ve done that one before…) Anyway, this week I: * Went back to work and saw students * Took kids to soccer practice with Mate, twice * Took T to fail his driver’s permit exam * Took T to look smashing for his Senior… Read More

Yup. That’s Bella’s Brother, now available at Dreamspinner, available in a day or two fromARe, and available this week sometime from the ‘zon.
