Hit and Run
Finding out someone has hit your car and taken off is an upsetting and enraging experience. A couple of weeks ago, my daughter called to tell me that she came out of work to find that someone had hit the … Continue reading

The Febs
The Febs We have officially slipped into February, the groundhog is a wimp, and I think I am coming down with a case of “The Febs”. It was in the middle of one of those endless winters a number of years ago that I … Continue reading
