Personal Makeover

I have started down the Path. The Path of wrinkle resistance. Yes, I have started fighting against my wrinkles. (OK, not too violently.)  But look, I grew up in the 70's on Maui, for goodness sakes. I have done some major sun damage to my cells. We used Monoi Tiare Tahiti oil on our skin. [...]

Welcome To The Casa de Barfo

Last Tuesday, one kid was sick. A little sick. Clean up ensued. He recovered.  Later in the week, not one, but TWO kids got car sick. Clean up ensued. Twice. They recovered.
