how we got here ...

Those that know us well can probably guess who atom and kelvina are. For those who don't know, these are the names that Steven has chosen for our fictitious children. These two little people have been involved in a number of decisions in our lives in recent months. While they are no more than a glimmer in our eyes, we dedicate these thoughts and musings to them. Enjoy.
