I’ve been in 5 states in three weeks

08/21 - I've been in 5 states in the last two and a half weeks, and I'm beat!  Like, cannot get enough sleep and haven't had to take a sleep aid in a week kinda tired!   I started this post before my recent trip to the hospital, and I guess it should have been...

Summer lovin; how seeing young love can remind us to be better.

A boy asked his mom, "How will I be able to find the right woman for me?"  The mom answered, "Don't worry about finding the right woman, concentrate on becoming the right man." My (not so) little boy has a girlfriend.  Yes, I am coping fairly well, thanks for asking.  Now, he has had a...
