I have two stories. A husband/wife couple, either psychologists or psychiatrists, had a large house and rented out two rooms to a couple of young girls. One was out of the Navy and the other was...

Hi Sarah,

I was en fem for Father's day. I had an 8:00 AM, hour long zoom call with my brother. Spoke with my wife briefly before heading downtown to spend the day with my oldest son who just...

Teresa,
