Like a network TV show cliffhanger, I left you all in suspense a while back. And just like a network TV show, enough time has past that you don’t even recall what the cliffhanger was. Here is a recap to refresh your memory: In my post about my Summerland, BC getaway with friends this summer, … More Boursin Cheese and Joint Custody of Marley
