Tales and Targets
This year started out rough for me, with my father’s death on January 2nd. I had to drive down to Connecticut to join my siblings for the service, so I knew I would be in the car for about 8 to 9 hours. When I know I have to drive a long way, I usually look to one of the books in my audiobook library to entertain on those so long miles.
