We celebrated a good friend’s 60th birthday. Oddly, sixty no longer seems as old as it once did! We enjoyed great fellowship, and as is usually the case in Italy, an abundance of delicious food! The restaurant, in the town of Casoli, was filled with bits of historical artifacts, which made me reflect. Now thatContinueContinue reading “Taxes, Birthdays, and a Creationist Conference”
