Still in Washington -- read about my dad
Here's the local newspaper story on my dad, which I'm sharing, because he was such a great guy and will be missed.
I'm still in Washington for the rest of the week, so posting will remain lighter than usual while I'm gone. Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts, prayers, and words -- it means a lot.
I'm "stickying" this post to the front page for a couple of days so people who don't visit often know why I am gone and why there are fewer deals this week. Please scroll down under this post to see new content.





What a wonderful tribute. I continue to pray for your family.
So nice of you to share this with us. Now we know where those short comments that make us laugh come from.
