Explain This, Unexplained Monolith!
A little local color before the Thanksgiving holiday, during which I plan to blog not a jot or tittle.
Thanksgiving 2019
It’s been a couple of years since the Southwest Woodfords have assembled in one place. But family gatherings are what Thanksgiving’s for—at least that’s what it’s come to mean for many American families, ours included.

Dinner included the traditional turkey with […]
