Abby Reynolds Jaundice

[Update] Abby is all well. We took her to the doctor Wednesday and Thursday morning and her bilirubin level was a mere 13. Should go down continually now without the need for lights. In total, she spent 8 hours in the contraption you see below. Essentially like laying on a tanning bed for that period [...]

RAGBRAI or Bust

One Bold Take on the Virginia Tech Shootings

We don’t yet know the stories of heroism or bravery which happened today at Virginia Tech during the shootings. We may never know.
