He’s Out Of My League

I asked Big Daddy P to illustrate Little BooBoo for an upcoming and yet-unwritten post….this is what I got, a masterpiece! If you ask me, this drawing belongs in a children’s book, not on my little website.  It has become painfully obvious his future’s so bright, he’s gotta wear shades. You already know Big Daddy […]

I recently had me a little huge booby scare (little boobies, big scare) and wound up with double diagnostic mammograms and ultrasounds.  It was really scary.  I prayed a lot.  I was impatient.  I kept it off my blog.
