Uberlist 2005 Wrap-up

Dear heavens, is it really only Tuesday?
I head down to the Tidewater area this weekend to visit the parental units in their new semi-permanent digs in Great Bridge. Am headed down early because a) itâ€™s easier to get leave, and b) they want to head off to Florida in the RV right after the [...]
