buy Latuda from india It’s been 8 years since I was last in Europe; time for a revisit. This summer we are spending in Rome, working for the Paideia Institute, and toting around our two five-month-olds. Rome is a city I know well, and it’s full of ghosts; some are mine, and some belong to us all.

Amish Funeral.
25-Dec-15The latter half of Christmas morning I spent at a funeral. One of the Amish families had just lost their two-week-old baby.

All you need for an evening of fun. Minus the cigarettes I think I could have a pretty good time this way myself. […]
