It all started innocently enough, though with a hint of controversy.  It was my turn to lead my children’s preschool coop session the day before Valentine’s Day.  I figured that was an easy one–have them make valentines for each other out of construction paper.
The only problem was one of the coop moms has a real issue [...]

What if it’s Obama?

While it’s been a couple days since I’ve listened to the talk shows, I am positive the fear of Obama winning this election is still palpable among those opposed to him.  Some of the stuff he says sure sounds scary to me too, and I’m not particularly looking forward to waking up Wednesday morning to [...]
