The calm comes right before the storm, right? It won’t be a storm exactly, but by this time next week, there will be nearly a dozen extra people staying at my little house. And then another 8 who will be here a lot, but want to stay in a more comfy spot than a tent in my side yard, which is all the room left around here.
