It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…YOU!

One of my friends keeps telling me I’m a superhero.  I’m not sure exactly when or why that started, but whenever and whyever it was, it stuck. And, okay, I liked it.  (Wouldn’t you?)  In fact, I even have a “superhero” pose, where I stick my hands on my hips and look off into the [...]

Many countries celebrate the day when they declared or became independent. In the United States, we celebrate on July 4th.

Have you ever noticed how amazing a chocolate milkshake tastes?

The blog I am writing for you today has to do with something I have been thinking about a lot lately: My past. Now I’m not that old, relatively speaking of course, but I, like all of you have many memories both good and bad. It doesn’t really matter if you have been around for [...]
