Time is ticking and it is getting close to the start of our big adventure. If you’re not aware of the big sailing adventure, I’ll fill you in. My wife and I are taking our 3 boys out of school for 8 months so that we can sail around the Eastern Caribbean. Very exciting! This […]
A Crime… Possibly Your Crime
Many people have experienced crime of some sort. Perhaps you had something stolen from you. Hopefully nothing worse. I was thinking about a crime the other day that likely goes unreported.
