(Guest Post by Tom Meitner) It’s October 2010. My beautiful new wife and I are sharing sandwiches for lunch while sitting in a purple VW Bug.

(Guest Post by “Babs” Wagner) By now, we’re well enough into 2012 that everyone who made a New Year’s resolution has sorted themselves into one of two groups.  The first is the miniscule group of folks who kept their resolutions (God bless all three of you overachievers!).  The second group is the extremely large number [...]
