The kids are obviously living up to the title of the board game by beating their parents pretty handily in a game of “Beat The Parents” tonight. 🙂
Okay, let’s resume the series I started before we left for Mexico where I write about some of the major things that have impacted the person I am today. The first four were my parents, my friends, books and travel (I won’t link to them here as I’ll probably do a master list at the […]
