We were having dinner with my nephew the other night and the conversation steered toward his numerous relationships.

He replied with that standard chauvinistic response, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"

My wife looked at him directly and retorted, "Yeah, why buy the whole pig for just a little sausage?"

My nephew stammered, "Exactly! I agree. Wait a minute..."

That's my girl.

If I Had A Hammer...

I once heard Leonard Nimoy singing this old Pete Seeger tune and it almost gave me epileptic convulsions. It has nothing to do with this link of an amazing artist who works with Hammer and Nails. It's just that whenever I see a hammer or box of nails or even a picture of Karen Carpenter - that's the song that leaps into my head. Go »
