Who should guest host "Q"?

Where the buffalo roam…

A nice piece on building community from Tariq Piracha: “In that sense, I can’t help but see home more as a process, than anything else. A long process. One that requires patience, persistence and commitment. I never was a very patient person.  But since becoming a father, I’m learning how to be a lot of […]
