Road Rage This past weekend was tough. We had to get up at 4AM on Saturday to drive 4 hours to our son’s college orientation. No breakfast, in a hurry, it’s a setup for arguments. We managed to hold ourselves together, get some food and get to the orientation on time. Our son was also…
Happy Birthday USA Our ancestors fought for more than independence, they fought for an ideal. It’s not just about freedom to do your own thing, it’s about the freedom to follow your conscious and build a better future. It’s about “We, the people…” and it’s about “In God We Trust”.

It was so hot, sweat trickled down as our bodies moved slowly and our breath became labored… No, not that kind of hot! I mean it was 95 degrees in the shade with 100% humidity on Saturday as we visited our daughter at Union College this past weekend. The weather was one of those drastic…
