With less than two weeks to go before Noah’s Bar Mitzvah, an unexpected fear has taken up shop in my head. There it lives, quiet most of the time, except for the six or seven three or four times each day when it whispers insidiously to me, preparing me for the worst. I’m not worried [...]
It had been way too long since we rode home together. His signature scent was as strong as ever and wafted over from the passenger seat rendering it almost impossible to drive. I knew it was going to be difficult to make it all the way home without reaching over and taking hold of one [...]
In an age when bloggers and social media users (including yours truly) are regularly calling out poor customer service in desperate attempts to right serious wrongs, I would like to take this opportunity to pay kudos to one company that likely secured my patronage for life.
