I’ve been meaning to post my prediction here for the past few months, so given the headlines this morning, now seems as good a time as any. I just wish I had beat these headlines, and, in fact, was just talking about this with Jen last night when the same topic came up on Real […]

First off, congrats to Jen on her first-ever blog post! Last night after returning home from a night out in Saratoga with some new friends (whom we actually met thanks to my blog), Jen and I took the dogs for a walk. Little did we know that we would soon experience. The walk started out […]
