Web MD sent me an email titled, "Could you go a week without yelling?" The email linked to an article that challenged parents to go a week without yelling at their kids. I could do that. I only have one kid here and all I have to do is open my mouth to speak to [...]

Do you know?
Here is my question of the hour - "It is 1:00 PM -do you know where your city's snow plow is?" Well, perhaps my asking the question already gives away my response, but what the heck - let me respond anyway. I do not know where my city's snow plow is. I haven't seen it [...]
Lovin’ Leroy…
