Tonight we went to Justyn's school for Parents' Night. It was a good time to see the school, learn about things like the PTO, and get a chance to meet with Justyn's teacher.

You have to love it when you hear a good joke. It is even better when the joke is about your own people ... and the joke is good. Here is one such example recently given to me by a friend at work. Read More »
