Did I catch your attention with the title? In fact, I spent part of Sunday trying to trace a possible leak that might be coming from the toilet. Now, since I am a renter, why would I invest my time in detecting a leak? Because, she replies promptly, I received my water bill and it […]

A Father, Daughter & a Dog story by Catherine Moore “Watch out! You nearly broad sided that car!” My father yelled at me. Those words hurt worse than blows. I turned my head toward the elderly man in the seat beside me, daring me to challenge him. A lump…
