  • Dare to Dream Big

    As we were driving recently, my son shared with me his life plan (his words). Some of his dreams I have heard before, but a few new ones were added as well. Here’s what he shared: “After college I am going to be a professional baseball player. Since I will have a lot of time…

  • A Compelling (?) Argument to Elect Romney
