Sunday is usually my favorite day of the week, but our last one ranks low on a list of my favorites. First, the kids started out the day by being terrible. Our 4-year-old Sammie was excited to see the snow – all 20 flakes of it that fell that morning – and she asked her still-half-asleep parents […]

I’ve wondered about this expression for some time. I’ve always thought that it referred to wiping your slate (chalkboard) clean before starting something. I just finished a google search and found that it can have a deeper meaning or much lighter. One thing I found deals with the whole “Nature or Nurture” question. The blank

No one as far as I know asked the question posed in the title, but today I certainly felt that way, as the nerd that is, not the one asking the question. I suspect my brother felt the same way. You see, we went to the funeral of someone we have never met. As such,

Tonight saw the return of our semi-regular game night. I will not comment on the night itself but on one of the challenges I was asked to perform outside of the games. Somehow, we got off on the tangent of James Bond. I was asked to list all of the villains in the 21 (now
