New Views, Old Values

Did I tell you that I’m taking a computer class? Well, I am and I, who once rebelled against the thought of allowing a computer a prominent place in my home, am fascinated. Matt has been my mainstay on all things technological and will remain so but now at least maybe I can appear to […]
