So Much To Do!
Today started out quite cool – in the 30s – but is approaching 60s as the afternoon progresses. It’s the kind of day where you have to leave your residence hall with a coat or a sweatshirt but you can shed it once it warms […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Even though it is St. Patrick’s Day, it is still Black and Gold Friday, and I’m representing! Hope you are too. Was out West traveling on business all week – and many thanks to all the West Coast Deac families who were so kind during […]

So much goodness in one afternoon
Today is 8 ways to beautiful. Warm, sunny, big “The Simpsons” kind of clouds in the sky. People seem very happy. As I was headed to a lunch meeting in the Benson Center, I spied the La Vie en Rose food truck. As the […]
Seen this week
