The Ends of the Ham
Yesterday was Father’s Day in many countries. If you could dedicate a holiday to a more distant relative, who would it be — and why?

Andy, He Makes My Mother Happy
The first time I met Andy was at my nephew's Court of Honor for his Eagle Scout; I didn't know I was going to meet him that day. I saw him holding my Mom's hand when I walked into the room.

I Was An Accounting Major for A Semester
Just one, that's it. I did not like it one bit. My first semester I was clear, at 18-years-old, that I wanted to be a teacher; that's why I went to college. Somewhere in the middle of that first semester I thought maybe it would be good to try something else. Today though, I kind … Continue reading I Was An Accounting Major for A Semester
A Book By It’s Cover…Exactly
