Humor.  If you are a Mom, you know humor is very important to your sanity.  If you are not a Mom, I’m sorry, but humor is only for Moms.  Well, maybe not, but, well, whatever.  Hum-dum-di-dum…
What works for me this week is…wait, can you guess?  It’s Hu… What?  How did you guess?  Am I that [...]

One of my favorite things to watch in the Olympics is the balance beam routines of gymnastics. The flips, the jumps, the handstands. All on a piece of wood that is four inches wide. Amazing, especially when you consider that many people would have enough trouble WALKING on something that narrow, much [...]
