by Skip February 21, 2015

Once again, intrepid and persistent Susan Olsen (and Grokster!) keeps the tradition alive with this year’s rally.  Cold, grey, breezy – the number of folks that attended was lower than last year to be sure but they took the time to come up on a freezing day – the hardiest of the hardy (and appreciated!).  […]

Quick Thought – Oh Skip…What about the Bubbles?

by Steve MacDonald July 9, 2013

I think Skip misses a key element of my brilliant and breathy prose (cough-cough) when he said this…about this.
