Village News

Our Family is our Village. The Village consists mostly of people we have raised or helped to raise. The Renaissance Man likes to complain about all the ‘kids’ I’ve brought into our life but he’s also the first to complain when they haven’t visited. (I believe that’s a requirement to qualify as a Grumpy Old Man)

This is the place I share our Village stories and news. Its also where I share my own philosophical musings an occasional rants.

As much as I would love to sit down every week and recap everyone’s highs and lows, share the ridiculous antidotes and imbue you with my most current musings and wisdom, I don’t always have the time or clarity for words. So I’m apologizing in advance for the time gaps in between posts here.
