Just this morning I learned of the tragic death of Kathreen Ricketson and her partner Rob while on their year-long family sabbatical in Australia. Kathreen was, among so many things, the creator of the WhipUp site that I had the privilege of contributing to in April. My heart breaks for their children. It comes as no surprise, though, that the

Because I can’t be bothered to do two posts in one day, (or the glue’s not yet dry for the project I intended to post here) you’ll have to follow me over to Elsie Marley. She’s kindly invited me to guest post today, while she languishes in the Hawaiian sun and misses us dearly. You betcha.
