My Quiet, Studious Side

Does anyone remember the 1986 movie Ruthless People? Danny DeVito played a greedy businessman whose wife (played by Bette Midler) is kidnapped by an inept couple from whom he stole a design. The thing is, he was already plotting her murder, so … Continue reading
Give The Guy A Chance
As you surely know by now, my niece Aubrey and nephews Craig and Sean live by my sage wisdom and soak up all my knowledge like sponges. They typically don’t like to make decisions without seeking advice from their good … Continue reading
