The trip might not be long and arduous to start with, so I suppose it’s not fair to blame my insanity entirely on them.  Where does it all come from, the insanity that is? We live in a crazy world, ... http://www.hosehead.com/?p=27 I'm with my kids and we are visiting the Goshen Ocean.

She is a sweet girl and a part of me feels bad about it – ... http://www.hosehead.com/?p=23 Have spent most of the last 4 days in hospitals, not the best times of my life for sure.
