“…I have often wondered if I had the words that would do justice to her goodness, her wisdom, and her strength. In the life of every woman, there will always be the influence and teachings of one woman who stands supreme.” -The Expected One by Kathleen McGowan For me – as it is for so … Continue reading
Obviously it’s true, because Late Night with Jimmy Fallon has featured not one, not two, but THREE of my father/daughter tweets on their site. This clearly demonstrates how my dad and I are three times as awesome as most other people. (Sorry, non-awesomes, we just can’t help it!) I am still not the proud author … Continue reading

I told you that’s a horrible show and you shouldn’t support it in any way whatsoever! Betsy: I’m changing the channel right … Continue reading
