The Things We Tell Our Kids
Occasionally, looking through the lens of the past can give us glimpses of what life will be like in the future.
The Day that Started on A Treadmill and Ended With A Cup of Cocoa in A Bar
There was no Jorgen (Just a Friend ) to save me. The cars behind me drove by, leaving me to a fate that sent my overactive imagination into overdrive. Situations like this explain my aversion to suspense books and movies. Seriously, this was prime, stranger danger, CSI episode material.
