    This is the first Holiday that we have had in this new shifted perspective.  Not that we haven't had lean Christmases in the past.  But, we were students then and they were to be expected.  Now, we thought that each Christmas was to get a bit better than the last.   Given the news that I keep hearing, I suspect I am not alone in saying that this is not the grandest Christmas ever in the way of gift-giving.    Read more >

    So my husband has started substitute teaching this past week.  It's great to see him back getting up and about in the mornings and have some place to go.  However, he is stuck in the in-between as far as wardrobe.  This morning he wore to school dress pants and a underarmour overshirt (really honey)  was he jogging somewear?  He is struggling with the casual nature of the classroom versus the very formal world of the law firm (his former ground)  I understand the struggle, but the hybrids for right now are very funny.  I expect to see sneakers and a suit a  Read more >
