Not me! But another of my siblings is turning 50 today. Does that make me old by association? Happy Birthday Gretchen!

Earth Day

April 19, 2010

April 21 is the day to celebrate the Earth. Huh? Call me a Scrooge but really? Do we really need a “day” to celebrate the Earth? Isn’t this something we should celebrate on a daily basis? Just as I have become jaded to the idea of having a day set aside to celebrate your mother [...]
