Will James Be Healthy Enough to Attend the Fundraiser?

After taking a week off to recover from his latest illness, and whatever coronavirus is, James was back in school this week. He might not have been quite ready to go back, though. Monday, he seemed to be doing okay. He went to school, and Stacy picked him up a…

James Has (or Had) Coronavirus and a Fundraiser Update

Are We Leaving Chiberia Yet?

I’m pretty sure anyone living in the Chicagoland area is glad that January is over. It was brutally cold. So cold that we’ve heard the term Chiberia being thrown around quite a bit. Chiberia being a cross between Chicago and Siberia. I’ve lived in the Chicago area my whole life…
