Our Worthless Congress
The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn’t get worse every time Congress meets. — Will Rogers Since February I have been threatening to write another blog, but I let life get in the way.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals. — Melody Beattie As we approach 2017 we look back upon the year with amazement. There can be no other way to describe 2016. So many things happened in 2016 […]
