Words that sometimes mean something to someone maybe
The US calendar has lots of Monday Holidays. I love Monday Holidays! An extra day off work, or for me, an extra day in the yard to get stuff done and an extra day to yell at the kids to clean their rooms. A few years ago, on Martin Luther King Jr Day, I was... Continue Reading →
This one should be a quick story. Sara Bareilles is a super famous singer. My wife and I have really liked her music for a long time. And when my oldest was born the CD in the car was Sara Bareilles so we heard the songs on her first CD called Little Voice approximately 8,500... Continue Reading →
My youngest daughter asked me all the time in these stories “why do you say ‘my wife’ or ‘my kids’ instead of using our names. I would tell her that it was because I was trying to keep them protected, that they never asked to be in my stories and I wasn’t sure I had... Continue Reading →
