    San Diego, Rumchata, a Turkey Recipe, and Procrastination

    March 1, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Welcome to my randomness again! It’s Thursday night and I should be working. I have 11 days until my organization’s annual convention week starts in Minneapolis and I have a litany of items on the to-do list that still need tackling. So. Many. Things. But here I am procrastinating –…

    Out of Sorts (What Day Is It?)

    December 28, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net
