Messed Up
As I watched my grandson build a cabin with his Lincoln Logs, I reminisce about my son when he was that age. He used to play with those same Lincoln Logs and make parking lots for his cars.

De-Stress While You Commute
My self-talk, and sometimes crazy talk is real when I am on the road. Traveling 31 miles from home to work each day and back, can take the sanity out of any sane person.
