It was just the last weekend of the summer. Ostensibly. sure we have a few more weeks until Autumn. But we all know that once labor day is here, it is all over. Sigh. I feel a bit depressed now. I hate when I do that to […]
It is my son’s birthday month and I am ecstatic. As is he. I want every weekend to be a fun-filled, action-packed adventure for him. Well, maybe not adventures in the grander sense of the word . But I think you get what I mean. I want him […]
