Women Make the World Go Round
I’ve spent most of my life believing anything was possible with hard work, good intentions and a little bit of luck. Strong women and supportive men surrounded me in my youth, so why would I believe otherwise. Their encouragement was the backdrop to my life. There were times when obstacles made it tougher to achieve important goals set for myself, but I look back on those trying times and truly believe that without them I would not have learned all of the needed lessons.
WITH A CAPITAL EM
Mom, My Style Icon
Floral jeans. They are in this season, I had them on, but were they working?
Only one way to find out — snap a photo and text it to my mom for approval. But as I was about to hit send I realized she was busy and wouldn’t be able to respond, so I bought them anyway. (Let’s hope they work, because I’m wearing them as I type this.)
FOR PETE'S TAKE
It’s a Siri Conspiracy
“Siri,” a Norwegian woman’s name for “beautiful woman who leads you to victory.” I would change that to: “Siri,” the woman on your iPhone who can badly interpret your phrases and commands.”
I’m sure some of you have experienced it for yourselves? Trying to be a safe and responsible driver I use the voice command to send or answer a text message from my wife.
DIY
