Apparently this is not new news, but my daughter sauntered into my room last night and told me for the first time, “Bad news, Barbie and Ken broke up.” Well that led to one joke after another in the household. Today I looked it up on the net. (I take...
My son and I have spent a good while in Literature Class reading the writings of Benjamin Franklin. I have to admit, that aside from all the regular items we are taught in history class about him, I knew little more than that he seemed rather wise and good for...
