I love my children deeply and dearly, and we spend a lot of time together. I am filled with stories and epiphanies about them that if I shared they would duct tape me upside down to the exterior of the house in a rain storm. That leaves me with stories about my dogs. It is…
This holiday season had me rediscovering the miracle that is toast. Little did I know that the wonder that is a morning breakfast food has suffered because of advances in technology. I have a toaster that you pop in whatever it is you wish to toast, you walk away and do whatever it is you…
