/ March 30, 2011 / local, social, Technology / Permalink

Ok, so back when Starbucks first opened in September of 2009, I decided (and wrote a blog post about it) that I would NOT be one of the people that frequented there. I had thought long and hard about it, and I just didn’t like the idea of it possibily putting some of the other [...]

It’s time to stop sending flowers.. at least via the Internet.

/ March 25, 2011 / everyday life, garden, local / Permalink

At Christmas time, for the last few years the Currie boys have always joined together and got some of our family members flowers.
