Stories from someone just fumbling through
During my last visit home, my mother and I visited the beautiful town of Skaneateles. It was the only day off I had in many weeks and it was looking like that was going to be my last one for a while, so we decided to make the most of it. It turned out to… Continue reading My trip to Skaneateles
Thanks to the marketing geniuses over at the Chronogram, I've had the chance to meet a lot of wonderful people and gain some beneficial connections. One of the many awesome people I've been lucky enough to meet through the Chronogram experience is Ami.
