Patty Duke and Eve of Destruction

I know it will be hard to believe, but when I was in the 5th grade, I was the skinniest kid at Shady Oaks Elementary School in Hurst, Texas. And possibly the least athletic kid in the universe, in the history of mankind. I never understood how I could be outside all the time, running […]

Adventures in Commode

Okay, so I think I’ve gotten past the “embarrassed to the point of total mortification” stage to talk about it now.
