It’s a somewhat solemn day of reflection for me. It’s my birthday, and I’m getting old. At least that’s the feeling. I’ve been asking myself for a while if I have found any advantages in getting older, besides cheaper meals at Perkin’s Restaurant. It depends… Continue Reading “Choosing to Grow Up, Really”

It’s a simple but often maligned and misunderstood word. To be considered humble is a compliment for some and an insult for others.
