How Thymes Have changed
When Kris and I got married, cooking was kind of a chore. We didn’t really mind it, but it wasn’t particularly exciting. We had our favorite dishes, and we would say we should try making something new, but we rarely …
Peacock Hunting
The owners of the company I work for live in Malibu. Occasionally I’m asked to take papers over there to get their signature if they’re not coming into the office. That area has peacocks. I stopped to take a picture …
