Day 89: Sucking Boogies: A lesson in Parenthood

Day 83: Wowzers!

So a couple days ago I hit 200 followers on this blog.  I was in utter shock.  I mean I remember the days when I first started blogging and thought getting to 50 followers would be killer…and then I hit 100 and was amazed.  This whole blogging thing started out as just kind of a [...]
