As some of you know and others don’t, Candice has lately been staying with me. (If you just fell out of your chair, I’ll explain, just ask.) Anyhow, this presented technical problems.

So Candice and I agreed about a week ago we should meet at this really nice dessert café called “Oh So Good” to have nummy cake and coffee and a chat. Since she works nights and I works normal hours, the weekend was really the only time we could do this. I spent the day […]
