As a child growing up, I remember making every living creature I found into a pet. I had a frog that I found when we had gone to the lake. I kept him on our porch in a cardboard box with sand, grass, and a water bowl. He must have lived at least two weeks….

The new haircut
I had a piano lesson tonight with one of my friend’s children. The deal is, I give Beth’s son, Vinny, piano lessons and she cuts my hair and Elizabeth’s hair. So I got my hair cut tonight. I haven’t done a whole lot to it, but that is the beauty of it. It just does…

My son took his drivers permit test again today, and he failed it on the last question. Poor guy. He failed it on the first question last time, so at least he is making progress. I am confident that in 15 days he will pass it. On the way home from the DMV he was…
