2026 Begins

A happy New Year to all you and yours, as we begin 2026.

Bryon and I spent two months in Orlando, Fl, in October and November, rediscovering what it was like to be connected to a community of people. We discovered we liked living an analog life in Orlando, and imagine we will be moving there sometime
