Yes, yes, yes...I admit it...I am a Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) fan. There is something about that show that draws me back in again and again whether I know or care about the celebrities on the show or not. I was really going to try and hold out this year - to break the [...]

Settling on juxtaposition…
Okay then...let's talk "juxtaposition." Did I just cause you to flash back to School House Rock's Conjunction Junction? That is what I think whenever I see the word "juxtaposition" all written out.
