Tweet Shoot… I’m as happy as a gopher in soft dirt to be in Austin. It’s been in the 70’s and 80’s in central Texas, and with the fresh air, congenial people, weird and artsy vibe and wide open spaces, we feel like we’ve hit a slice o’ heaven. After a tough, sick, chilly 3 […]

Tweet IMG_5492 2 Forgive us, friends. We’ve been so quiet on 3 For The Road. Actually, I know I must forgive me.

Tweet Stop the (Word)presses! For the first time, the three of us went on vacation, as a family. IMG_4736 Wait, you say. Aren’t you on vacation all the time?
