Spring? Can it Be?

March 25, 2022

Just when you think you’ll be content to sleep forever because the gray never ends, buds pop out on trees and daffodils sprout, shaking you out of your winter coma.

I’m Baa-aak

May 16, 2021

Lyle Lovett’s Pontiac brought us together, but I think my favorite moment was when we bonded over "Let’s Get Excited" by the Pointer Sisters. I was impressed and only somewhat concerned that Andy knew all the words, but we really belted it out.…
