Daddy’s Little Girl… Graduates???

Multi-million dollar effort to improve Oregon high schools by going small shows disappointing results

My little girl took another step into daddy's new reality this weekend.  She walked across the stage to accept her high school diploma!

My Handyman

There's an old blues song that goes, "My man is such a handyman!"  The guy in the song can take care of ANYTHING.  But more and more, men lack the handyman skills that their fathers or grandfathers possessed.
