There is an actual official Sibling Day on April 10. But I am celebrating today. Why? Because today, in 1975, my sister Pam was born and I officially became a sibling.

In spite of my best intentions I did indeed insert myself… Read more »

If you are anything like me you are sick to death of anything and everything political. Seems like you can’t log in to any social media site without witnessing- if not actually getting into- an all out brawl.
