If you are regular reader of my blog, you must know by now that I am fascinated to learn how things work – whether it’s how we get our food or how someone does their job (I am a “recovering” organizational psychologist – my previous profession).

My apologies for posting the weekend events so late. Between some technical difficulties with the website (we’ve switched servers) and dealing with Lyme’s Disease (I am dragging), I’m behind. And I simply can’t believe it is August already! Probably the heat and humidity isn’t helping either.
