WORK IS NOT A FOUR-LETTER WORD


Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.

Every Thursday we drive to New Jersey to babysit the Wolfpups (aka our grandchildren), while my son, Chad, and his wife, Laura, attend to their busy schedules.
