Get Comfortable I got soaked today while hiking in the rain with my dogs, not because I didn't wear proper rain gear; I did. But the air temperature was so warm, I had to choose between the lesser of two discomforts. In the end, I stripped off my raincoat, tied it...
Congratulations to the Round 1 Winners at YeahWrite Super Challenge #6
Three groups, three prompts, two days, round one. How'd that first round of the Super Challenge go for everyone? Once again, anything that went right is entirely due to our admin team's untiring work behind the scenes, and anything you hate is probably my fault....

Just Do It Today I found myself at the mall buying shoes again for my 13-year-old son. Weren't we just there last week buying the pair that no longer fits? I know what these bigger feet mean: Next time I blink, he will surpass me in height (it's close). I've always...
