Pro Life Tip - For years, every time I get an email that makes me feel good, I attach a label (NICE) to it and file it away. Whenever I feel down or lonely, I can go to that mailbox and read a few letters from kind Internet strangers, friends and family and it invariable cheers me up.

Highlight of the day; listening to my daughter arguing with her kids about who is the most bougie. Granddaughter: Your order your coffee from a farm in Costa Rica! Daughter: You had passport stamps from four continents before you were 10 years old!
