What would life look like if everyone realized that nothing that people do or say is about you? That is pretty amazing. Almost mind-blowing because, you see, we are egotistical humans, so we take everything personally. You know the guy that just cut you off in traffic...
When I was younger, I was so envious of The Jetsons, because of their flying cars. Can you imagine? Flying to your destination. No road construction. Just the open air to fly to your heart's content. I was naive back then and didn't know that if people are horrible...
I have always wondered what it would be like to be famous. Would everyone knowing your name be annoying? Would the attention grow wearier under the spotlight? I haven't reached that level, but the encounter at my orthopedic practice gave me pause. My mother-in-law...

Two weeks ago, Brian dropped his Kia off for service. Air Conditioning was not working and considering it is the temperature of hell, it was vital that it gets repaired. Currently, we are a one car family. Why? Because not only was the A/C needing a little TLC, but...
Friends, I think it might be time for an Emily Post wanna-be to write a book on how to act like a mature adult when the whole world has gone bat shit crazy. There is a niche for this considering that some of you act like petulant toddlers when people disagree with...
