I can honestly say this has been an extraordinarily amazing and wonderful year.  In May, we went on the first-ever Attack Laurel European Tour (Denmark, Sweden, Denmark again, London, and Denmark for a third time, and they have very nice shops in the airport).  We made new friends, met the most wonderful people, and spread the gospel of Elizabethan ( Read more... )
