Limited Interest

It was very important for us to be interested in culture, science, politics, art, and other things of the sort. While here in New York I am reminded of their efforts.

I am writing this morning from our hotel room in New York City. Chris and I are on only our third extended vacation together. We haven’t really found the time to take a week or so off from work since we got married. Our last vacation was during Hurricane Katrina, so we decided not to [...]
