And the internet is back. It has been a long week without internet, and I’m glad it is over. Now we can check email regularly, the kids can do their homework, Netflix is back, all the things we take for granted. Knowing we would be without internet we tried to make arrangements, but they just…
This past Saturday the entire Cub Scout pack went on a hike. Well, it was scheduled as a pack outing, but only two other dens were represented by one person each. This wound up being pretty much my den’s outing with a couple of others, really. This was fine, as a hike is one of…
