Okay, can someone tell me WHY ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH…..are driver’s ed in-car lessons ONLY 8 hours but the parents have to drive with the kids for 50 hours?     Is this some sort of punishment from the State of Ohio?  When you pay for the temporary permit, why don’t they include a 90 day supply [...]

JoBros were back in town Thursday.  Thought I’d share MC’s excitement on ‘Jonas Day’.

On the way to school to take finals in math. “I don’t know why, but I have a nervous stomach this morning.” “Nervous about the final?” “No, I’m feeling like this will be rather serendipitous” *blink… blink blink*  “Serendipitous?” “Yes, my final grade will be serendipitous.  A happy accident.   I believe in karmic synergy, you [...]
