  • Moving to Lancaster

    Big things are happening. A few months ago, I posted my Philly Bucket List — things I wanted to do before leaving Philly. I wasn’t sure what the timeline on that would really be, but it seems to be happening now. We’ve been in kind of a holding pattern for the past year or so. We…

  • Float On: Depriving My Senses
