In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Gimme a Break!

Read this article, and then let me just say…give me a freakin’ break! I mean, for real.

Are people so stupid that they think children go to the store and buy their own groceries? I think not. Ya know, if you don’t want your kid to get fat by eating too much junk food…don’t buy them junk food. It doesn’t take a genius. They don’t buy their own food. The parents do. They say, oh, but when Junior asks for it, I want to make him happy. Well, ya know what? You aren’t supposed to make your kids happy all the time. Tell little Junior “no”, and get on with it. He will probably forget that you didn’t buy him his Fruit Loops before you even get out of the store. It’s not that big of a deal.

For goodness sakes, people! Use your brains!

I feel much better now.
