Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
I looked to the left of the gas station and saw the man. I thought he was part of the lawn mowing crew that was cleaning the property. He looked like he might have passed out in the sun. I knocked on the car window to let my wife know, I was thinking that we... Continue Reading →
The truth can be deceiving. If you’d ask the guy down the street, he might have a few thoughts about me. He might say that: I’m a curmudgeon and cheapskate for not buying more Girl Scout cookies from his daughter when they came to our house. I’m a lousy driver and drive too fast up... Continue Reading →
