There’s a great epidemic that takes place in the world today! It is not technically a disease, though it behaves like one. It is not in the category of a plague, but tends to plague good folks on a regular basis. It is extremely common, normal and ordinary, yet in reality should be uncommon, abnormal…
As it turns out, my wife and I have successfully implanted a real zest for living life to the fullest into our children. Not too long ago we had one of those famous, intense, passionate Washington discussions about that very subject! During these heated debates it is not uncommon for the discussion to go on…

Why do I have to do this stupid analysis of a warehouse process? This MBA schoolwork is absolutely pointless! I just want to get it done and over with already! What time is it? Am I done yet? I think I’ll take another break… I have often wondered why us humans seem to place our…
My wife and I found ourselves in the “Animal ER” the other night after our dog accidentally (if you can call raiding the garbage, accidental) ingested some mouse poison.
