I laughed out loud. […]

My family was with me as we sat in our mini-van (ooh, the sexy life we live!) waiting at a stop light. Next to us was a 55 or so year old couple in a REALLY fancy sports car.

My kid is wrong

… but write. Er…. right.
My seven year old kid, Ben, just (out of the blue!) told me that,

Here are some photos of my cute, little humorists!

I had two flights in a row cancel on me trying to get out from my funny motivational speech to the Air Force in Florida. It’s easy to get grumpy when that happens. In fact, it is hard not to spiral down in to a pit of misery. : )
