Well, the FunderRanch has been sold, and the FunderFamily is currently spending a little time on the western slope of Colorado. It’s good to relax and recuperate after 5 to 6 weeks of home improvements, clean-ups, negotiations, and paperwork. I’m not really good or experienced at vacations.

Well, the FunderFamily is going on a road trip… And we couldn’t be more eager to get started.

For some reason I just got the urge to write a story poem called “Once Upon A Starless Night”. I suppose this happens to other writers, too. Sometimes a phrase or a couple of juxtaposed words will pop into my head, and my little neurons start to fire.
