Dean Brings a Camera

Posted on January 21, 2013 by commart

Posted on November 4, 2012 by commart

The Quiet Hour: Toward Change I

Posted on November 4, 2012 by commart

Must all things pass? Closing: “mustang-highways” (also “mustanghighways”) — the dot-com domains I thought I’d have a good time filling with Mustang mileage and apple pie and coffee tales. Didn’t happen. What was I thinking? Where was I going to … Continue reading →

Posted on August 11, 2012 by commart
