I have stated before that I believe the old axiom,”There are no stupid questions” is a stupid axiom.  Of course there are stupid questions.  Like this one:

See, that was really [...]

Had a good day with the Mom’s.  Took her to a fancy lunch and then saw “Baby Mama” with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
It was an ok movie.  Quite funny in places.  I would suggest others see it as a rental though.

It has been awesome to [...]

Last week I woke up singing “Into The Ocean” by Blue October.  I looked up the lyrics and the following verses stood out to me.
Where is the coastguard
