I came to the conclusion yesterday that I am seriously lacking in the humor department. See? I can even talk about humor without using the word “seriously.” If I’m honest with myself, I’ve always been aware that I do not have the same sense of humor as others. But ... Read more...
…with the sound of music… Uh hum…sorry about that. It really is a glorious day that causes me to break out in song, but that’s not what precipitated this short burst of Rogers and Hammerstein. Lexi and I walk by her music teacher every morning on the way to ... Read more...
That was the question posed to me last night over dinner by my five-year-old. Was this a rhetorical question? Was it philosophical? Was it just the ramblings of a child? Nope. It was a legitimate question based on my actions, and how I answered may surprise ... Read more...
