Sometimes you overhear your kids say the darndest things. Sometimes you overhear them say some really smart things. Sometimes you hear them say the sweetest things that stick in your heart and mind. My son does all of the above. Each day I am a bit stunned (although […]
While in Hong Kong, I was reminded of one of my favorite shows ever. That being BattleStar Galactica (the new one). So well written, acted and just overall grand intensity. It was a show that I looked forward to watching each week. Although, I must admit, that […]
