Would you like to know why I

Jim and I were talking this morning about how researchers have found that a profile photo on Facebook tells viewers all they need to know to form an impression of someone and virtually no words are necessary. Here you see my facebook photo. Would you like to see the real me?

It's easy to remember my son's birth date. 10/9/8. Yesterday he turned 3, wow, it goes by so quickly. On Saturday we invited family & friends over for a big party. And for those of you who couldn't make it, thank you for your well wishes and gifts. Here is a top 5 l ...
