Times are scary
At work this morning we had one of those spur-of-the-moment you-have-no-idea-why meetings called. With the economy as it is, only one thought popped into my mind…job cuts.

Every couple has to have an anniversary, right? That special date you celebrate of that first time you two became official. So what happens when you don’t really have a specific date, when suddenly hanging out occasionally becomes hanging out daily, and dating turns into “going out?” Well, you just pick one.

Barack Obama's letter to his daughters
Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you have.
