Nearly total eclipse
Warning: this is a pre-post, friends; I am off today and tomorrow to enjoy the last bit of time with ’27 Deac before he starts 7th grade. By the time you read this, the near-total eclipse will be over, and I hope it was a […]
Some pics of Wake Downtown
Yesterday on the Wake Parents and Families Facebook page, I shared a couple of pictures of Wake Downtown, our city campus. Though Wake Downtown opened this spring, I had not gotten down there to explore the inside of the building until yesterday, though I had […]
