It’s quite a feat to be the 1st to do something, to be remembered as the first to do something. It is something that can’t be erased. Being the 1st to do something, can’t be taken away. If it’s a sports accomplishment, perhaps a record (as in my 1st’s list #2 below), then that record … Continue reading Firsts

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me
Okay – not a full on melt down – but close. Very close. Our dear friends the Scotts, got us (well, me, but I do share) a hot dog cooker for Christmas.
