The holiday season is upon us once again, and with it comes the importance of remembering that which truly matters most: cookies. Lots and lots of cookies.
Chocolate chips, snickerdoodles, and gingerbread men by the dozen. We humans have a tendency to celebrate various occasions with food, and I am by no means opposed to this time-honored tradition.

“What do Psychics, Family, and Microsoft have in common?”
Well…
They all seem to know me pretty well, or at least they think they know me well enough to correct me as I speak or write, or try to finish my sentences.
Let’s use my son as an example. He has discovered that when he asks a question like, “Daddy, can I stay up and [insert fun activity here]?”, my typical response tends to be: “Well, once you have finished [chore assigned by me], we can talk about it, but it might be too far past your bed time.” He knows that this response can be substituted with: “Probably not, it is way past your bed time and you haven’t even showered yet.”
