March marks the beginning of the second month of Stay-At-Home-Steve. While we were lying in bed last night I asked him what he felt he has accomplished during his time off. “Well, there’s the fire…” he said, in reference to the first day of his new life, which he spent keeping a fire going from… [keep reading]
