A Tasket! A Tisket! Lemme Tell You 'Bout My Brisket!

I love food.  I love to eat the food more than I like to prepare the food.  Reason being, I’m not that good of a cook.  To say I’m a decent cook is a stretch, but at least I try.  I’m a huge proponent of we’re having breakfast for dinner tonight, but my boys tend … Continued

Word Nerd

I have been a lover of words (hence, word nerd) for as long as I can recall.  One of my favorite books is called WORDS That Make A Difference And How To Use Them In A Masterly Way.  It’s a cross between a dictionary and a thesaurus in the sense that the words are listed alphabetically … Continued
