New Urbanism in 10 minutes a day, Pt. 9
Posted by C. J. Summers on May 7th, 2007Back, but busy
Posted by C. J. Summers on May 7th, 2007My wife and I got back from our weekend getaway last night (it was very fun and relaxing, by the way). But now there is much work to catch up on, so I won’t be able to do much blogging today. Maybe this evening I’ll have some time to write up a couple of things. The school board meeting should be interesting. If anyone is interested in watching it, the school board meeting will be televised live on Insight cable channel 17 tonight.
