Opening Day Jitters

August 24, 2009

I remember my first day of kindergarten very well. I had long blonde hair and Iwas the tallest girl in my class. I wore a white Winnie-the-pooh dress with a big red bow.

The Swine Flu

August 24, 2009

Wow! What a week it’s been. All four of us here at the McResidence are on medication for something or another. Some of us for infection. Some of us not for infection. The pharmacy no doubt loves us this week. Our insurance company probably does not. For your consideration….  It wasn’t me who was shocked to [...]
