Head-over-heals… literally

What is it about a beautiful or attractive woman that instantly turns a man into a bumbling idiot? I wish I knew the answer.
Yesterday was a good day, even by my standards. Well, that was until after I picked my nephew up from rugby practice and decided to stop off at the mall on the [...]

Quaint or obsolete?

It is sometimes difficult to adapt to how the modern world functions in the face of what we were taught as children.

The tangled web
