Last weekend I woke up a bit sleepy and groggy. Which is to be expected. That’s what the weekend is supposed to be feel like. Check! I woke up around 6:00am or so and grabbed my phone. How very 2019! I immediately went on Twitter as that is […]
This summer is a big contrast to that 11 years ago when my son was a baby. Well, he is still my baby. Always will be. Speaking of which, “Always be My Maybe” is a good original Netflix film. Just thought I would share that nugget. Now back […]
