Oh — I don’t know, a little over a year ago I think — Pam Belding (or as I like to call her, Red) started sending me the ever-evolving manuscript she was writing. I hoped she did it so I could edit. Outside on the patio furniture I would sit and read. Armed with nothing […]
Last week I heard Paul Harvey report this startling fact: Each of our feet can produce a pint of sweat a day. Between a pair of feet, that’s a quart of liquid a day, nearly two gallons a week — that’s like 91 gallons of foot sweat a year produced by one human. That my […]
