A few of mine Is doodling a dying art? With the proliferation of iPads, smart phones and other personal electronic devices, we spend less and less time with a pen or pencil (or in my case, a crayon) in hand. Sit in on any business meeting and at least one person will be [...] 
Don’t Play with Your Food How many times have you heard those words? They were featured often in my life with Step-father #1. Usually it was when faced with something I seriously did not want to eat. Lima beans were a regular feature in the conversation. I hated lima beans; their taste, the texture, [...]
