Happy Birthday, Ka’lani!

Happy Birthday, Ka’lani!

My aching head,…

My idiocy continues!

I think I must be an idiot.  That probably won’t come as much of a surprise to my readers;  it certainly doesn’t come as a surprise to my kids!!  But if there is one thing I have learned in life, it is that it rarely pays to try to be nice or helpful.  So, knowing […]
