While out at our anniversary dinner last Friday night, D dropped his fork in the middle of eating his steak (massive and perfectly cooked, I might add).
He looked at me, quickly picked it up and placed it back down on the table.

I grabbed the fork out of his hand and did an awful mom-like-tsk-tsk and politely asked the server for another.

I'm excited to navigate this new world, explore just what people post, what people read. What's better on one of the many new platforms and what's still appropriate for good old fashioned blogosphere. For now, here's a peek at where we're staying -- in a pretty little village just outside of Oxford. A temporary home ...
