There are times in your life that you have to engage in self-reflection. You know, that introspective soul searching we occasionally do in order to understand who we really are, what we want out of life, or just to get a bit more happiness or satisfaction out of life. Thankfully, Facebook can help. If you [...]

I use one of my favorite quotes as the tag line for this blog, and there’s a marginally funny story behind it. My wife and I were visiting my in-laws, and we brought our 20-pound cat with us. During the visit, we were going to visit some other relatives, so we left the cat with [...]
