In Your Face
I like different. I like innovative. I’m a fan of the quirky, the eccentric, the expression of individuality. In Your Face? Not so much, but at certain stages in life we all have identity issues, something to prove to ourselves (or others), and we assert our individuality in various ways – occasionally more stridently than […]
A Few of My Favorite Things
With a busy weekend in process (and teens, teens, teens about the place), I thought I would share a few of my favorite things. First and foremost?
