My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.

Kansas City, MO: Do as I say, not as I do

When I posted last Monday about my fitness goals, I was still trying to get my Misfit Shine to work. Good news is: I got it to sync. So-so news is that the tech support was so-so.
