With the end of 2015 fast approaching, many people are probably already thinking about their New Year’s resolutions.

It recently occurred to me that I don’t have a lot of pictures of Paul and I, especially from way back when we were first dating. That’s probably because way back then, more than twenty-five years ago, we would have needed to carry an actual real camera with us wherever we went and then wait […]
