When you have no idea what you're doing, somebody else will ... or at least make something up & run with it.

OPEN FORUM

We gripe about politics, we gripe about the weather, we gripe about the cost of gas, we gripe about our failing education system ... Doesn't anybody care about the things that really matter anymore?

This morning, I woke up alive and able to crawl out of a nice, warm bed. Every day, I come home to a house that's still standing, food in the fridge, lights that still come on and a lot of people I love just a phone call away.

My children know what it's like to sit down at a real table and eat a real meal as a real family because they do it on a regular basis. Someday, they'll appreciate that. For now, I just hope they're always able to take it for granted

Say what you will, vote for whoever you hate least, but don't ever lose sight of the things that really matter.
