The Pursuit of Knowledge

With the dog days fully upon us it's time to start thinking about the welcome return to routine that the fall affords. True, this may have those boys (and girls) of summer wallowing in sorrow but for most of us this brings the opportunity to shake the sluggishness of the lazy days of summer and jump headlong into that time tested activity of the pursuit of knowledge. So pull on those cords, pull out that sweater, and join us these next two weeks in exploring all the living, learning, and neighborly love this fall has in store.
