Word on CNN is that my second home is due for another heavy round of snowfall this weekend. I’m a little bummed to be missing it, but I think 22″ the first time around was enough to satisfy my desire for snow for the next 12 months. As beautiful as a winter wonderland may be,…
Truth be told, I’m much more fascinated with Scott Schuman’s lady, but nevertheless always appreciate a look into his world and his perspectives.
