Welcome to the new Great Game. As I explained to my cousins last night, we are all pawns in the new Great Game and the only thing we can hope and pray is that the powers that be either get bored, get booted out, or find something else to while away their time and let…
Home for the holidays…
It takes travel during the holiday season to truly appreciate home. And since we were lucky enough to head home a few years ago that whole wrenching, yearning, leaving loved ones behind thing is thankfully no longer a part of our lives.
