October Happenings

It feels really odd to say that it is already October (especially since I am posting this on September 30…). Time’s ebb and flow seems to always be against us. When we want to savor moments, they quickly dissipate, and when we want move on to more pleasant things (e.g. my time in the dentist chair this morning), the minute hand simply refuses to move.

Regardless, it is October and that means, YOU GUESSED IT, more programs at the Teen Department!
