I’ve been sick since the beginning of the week. We have had a flu bug going around the town for a few weeks now and I happened to catch my share of it at the annual Super Bowl Party we have every year for the youth. So, none the less I have been feeling under [...]
Wal-Mart and Free Hugs

Who uses Email?
I was reading on our friend Bill Seaver’s blog today and he had an interesting post that referenced the number of teenagers who use email as the main method of communication to friends.
