** Heads up: there is absolutely zero spiritual content in the following entry. Unless discussing James Bond somehow brings you closer to God. Which is decidedly possible.

So I’ve not made it back to Hanks, but I drove past this place yesterday and I knew I had to check it out.
Ok, so I’m kicking back on a little working mini-vacation with the fam.

Kicking it with the fam at my brothers time share in Virginia and watching the home run derby.
