  • Self-Sabotage?

    This is what life is going to be like when the kids are in school, so why don’t I just start getting into the groove now? I ask myself that. A lot. Especially now. The kids are at day-camp, which is a lot like school hours for this particular program. I’ve got an idea for…

  • The Point of Publishing…
