The Opposite of Zen, The Crumpled Crew, and Happy Holidays to you!

December 28, 2011

Christmas day started so well. Husband Mike was actually home, a situation that almost never happens. Being a TV news photojournalist, he always works on every holiday. He warned me before I married him so I don’t complain. However, this year his regular...
