Our New Severe Weather Policy
Maybe you haven’t noticed, but the weather has turned a bit colder over the past few weeks. And while the storm that hit the east coast missed Ithaca, we can count on getting hit at least a couple times this year. When we were meeting downtown, we said that regardless of how bad the weather…

We’re all back together again!

Is it November already?
So over the past month I have been dealing with some guilt. It has officially been over a month since I last wrote something here. September & October were both a bit crazy…I ended up not reading very much, not blogging at all, and simply getting buried with stuff. The past couple of weeks have…
