I witnessed a grown man throwing a full on temper tantrum at the post office this week. To quote one of the ten-year-olds I’ve had the privilege of working with, “Bro had a nasty ‘tude.” After berating the person working at the front desk, the…

Today: Thinking pink.
Though the skies have been quite grey today, I’ve been holed up in our condo since this morning’s crossfit class, thinking pink. Our Christmas cards arrived yesterday (don’t tell a soul, but I somehow spelled Christmas with an extra i on our return address wrappers…
