How to Prepare to Die
For years now, my neighbor has been going around telling everyone that when he died, his greatest goal was to leave behind the biggest amassed collection of stuff that our town has ever seen. He wanted to be known as the man who had THE BIGGEST auction in the history of our entire county. He … Continue reading
Overheard in my kitchen….
Daughter 4 speaking to Daughter 5: “Dad took Niecia to get coffee for their date – they had a sign that says, “Unattended children will be given an espresso and a puppy.” Daughter 5 response: “Seriously?!!
