    It’s days like this one when I wish I had tens of thousands of visitors to this Web site each and every day. Not because I want to talk about my life and have people tell me how great I am but because I wish I could get more eyes and ears to see this…

    We’re leaving on Saturday. For a week we’ll be spending our days near a pool and a great big lake, surrounded by giant Florida bugs and 90-degree weather. (100+ if you count the humidity.) I’ll be wearing a bathing suit. A lot. The last time I visited the salon, I asked the woman to “clean…
