This past Thursday, we woke up to snow falling. The frozen precipitation kind of went over the weathermen's radars, so it wasn't expected by really anyone in the DFW area. We went to school as normal, and yeah, my SUV skidded and fish-tailed a little bit on the roads. It didn't stop me from getting my morning coffee, though. A couple of hours later, I got the call from … [Read more...] about That’ll Teach Me to Run My Mouth

Fresh Starts in 2014
