I have found, by being a manager and a parent, that many people out there have many pet peeves. Myself included. These days we all find something, at least one thing if not ten, especially annoying. I think there can be a pet peeve for every situation and […]
Summer is about to hit soooner than we realize it. Lamentably, spring always goes by so quickly. And for those of us that are older and need a summer reprieve, that season flashes quickly by. Then autumn comes and the beauty of the earth really shines through. Or […]
As a New Yorker I grew up in what is ostensibly a concrete jungle. Skyscrapers and towers dominate the skyline. At night, New York truly glows and it is a thing of beauty. I find it beautiful and have tried to instill that love into my son’s heart. […]
