Remember that feeling when you were a kid of winter finally being over? Time to play outside…and not come in until dinnertime only to go back out once again until you were dragged in by your mom.

Just when you think you have it all under control, the bad people of the world come up with one more. I am about ready to lock my kids up in my nice, safe, cozy, house and keep them safe from all the boogymen out there. But, wait! They are coming through our power lines…through [...]

I read an interesting article this morning. It is all about spoiled children. And I am not talking just the issue of your spoiled 2 year old who throws a tantrum on the floor. This is bigger. This is about the kids of today…the kids who will be growing up as our world’s next ‘group [...]
