Traveling To Disney World: Family 2018 Disney World Vacation (Part 2)
Now that you’ve booked your trip to Disney World in Orlando, you need to actually get there. Our daughters are both under ten, so driving from Central Illinois all the way to Orlando did not seem like the ideal means of travel to me. We are very fortunate in that we have a local airport,…

How We Booked Our 2018 Trip To Disney World: Family 2018 Disney World Vacation (Part 1)
We were fortunate enough to visit Disney World during the summer of 2017 in celebration of my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary.

Pops by Michael Chabon – A Book Review
If you visit this site regularly, you probably know I’m a bit of a Michael Chabon fan. (I met him once, you know.) His latest book recently released, and I could not wait to read it. Pops is a very slim collection of nonfiction essays. I particularly enjoy Chabon’s nonfiction because he is unafraid. He…
