I have been a cynic since the fifth grade. In my opinion, I'm lucky I made it that far. I can pinpoint the exact moment that my life changed for the worse. It was going so well. We lived in a nice neighborhood. We had a pool at our house. We had a sauna in our …

Heartsick, With A Month To Go…
Wednesday, it will be a mere month away. We will take Mini Me to college on August 20. Part of me would like to lock him in the dog crate. He would fit.
Click/Boom, Then IT Happened…HAMILTON!

Party Like it’s 1776
We are on the plane. The plane of no frills. This is totally fine with me, though I must admit I have never flown on a plane where I had to pay for coffee!
LAFAYETTE!!!
My family just so happens to have these gorgeous cups and saucers that were made especially for Lafayette's second visit to the United States...
