You’ve come a long way, Baby, but your coffee still sucks…

I was working on another post when I read a post by my friend Pat Williams. At the same time, she challenged me: I LOVE that her blog is named The Sticky Floor. At least as much as a glass ceiling exists, there is that sticky kitchen floor that holds …

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty- thoughts on the Cougar Phenomenon
