In case you ever wonder why your first comment requires moderation from Karen or I, let me tell you behind the scenes we are fighting an intense battle with spammers who want to junk up the discussion with offers that I know for sure none of you are interested in. Let me just say if [...]
Have you ever noticed that just when you get in the groove of a new habit like exercising, something knocks you out and you have to start again? I was doing so well and then darn it all I caught one of the flu bugs that has been going around. I’ve spent the better part [...]
