Sometimes we need a new haircut. Sometimes we need a new shade of lipstick or, perhaps, another bottle of perfume to celebrate the arrival of spring.

Recently, I decided it was this very website that needed a little update. I rolled up my sleeves and taught myself how to use WordPress (eek!). I downloaded a theme. I watched a million how-to videos. And I eventually figured out how to make this space a little spiffier than it was before. So, take a small tour of this renovated home; there’s a fresh coat of paint on the walls, a jaunty rug in the foyer. I hope you like what I’ve done with the place.
