Remember the old query that splits the optimists from the pessimists? Simply show a glass with water in it. …
Oh. My. Gosh. I’ve missed this. More importantly, I’ve missed all of you! How have you been? Yes, I haven’t been here in a while. (Why, you ask? We’ll get to that shortly.) And it looks like the year that shall not be numbered has stopped by my website. *sigh* So, before stretching my fingers and getting back to what …
One of my favorite bloggers is a well-read, successful author who is a bit unapologetic in the way he runs his blog.

The more you (or your teen!) are prepared to live independently, the better off you’ll be. With that in mind, here are several …

There are details to shore up, reservations to check, and a mound of packing none of us want to even think about after four years living on campus.
