What I Did On My Summer Vacation

By Dave Twombly Hello Friends, It's been a long time since we've spoken (yeah, I take full responsibility for it. It was me, not you). Now that the fall is knocking on our door (I can't believe I just wrote that, so sad) you'll be back to hearing from me regularly. (I hope none of
