My Date With A Supermodel

My Date With A Supermodel
OK so it wasn’t a date as in going out together, but rather the  date of my encounter with Petra Nemcova. Here is my amusing  story of my brush with a supermodel. I have to start by saying I was bummed when Petra was kicked  off “Dancing with the Stars” last night. I am not a fan of the  show,...

Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

Won’t you be my neighbor? Does anyone know who is most often associated with that catchphrase? Yes, it was Mr. Rogers.

To Tattoo or not to Tattoo

Have you ever seen someone’s tattoo design and thought, “What were they thinking?” Or maybe you have a tattoo and questioned your choice of ink art. Now have you ever gone to someone’s house or seen one on TV and after seeing a certain feature or layout thought the same thing, “What were they...
