Trust me, I love my hamburger and sausage, a carnivore of epic proportions, but my son loves chicken. A lot. Also his Mother doesn’t eat red meat or pork, so when she eats with us not all …

Well, another week has gone by. This is what I’ve learned or what I think I learned: “Milk  can’t fly.” My son has been experimenting with his milk for some time now. Sadly, each experiment ends the same way–with the cup-and-milk going up and cup-and-milk going down. It’s easy to think: he is just making a mess; and, if he is …

I was watching Louisville vs Wichita State, wanting the Shockers to beat Louisville–not because I dislike Louisville or like Witchita State. I just love the underdog story. I mean… who doesn’t love a good David-against-Goliath story?
