List on the 3s — you know the drill. On a day which has the number 3 in it, I produce a list. But first — a public service announcement:  It’s Passover. (Happy Passover!) I haven’t blogged in forever.   (Happy forever!) Life has really been a whirlwind over the past week and-a-half, and I simply […]
