Are you prepared for the Pink Moon this week? The Pink Moon is almost here if that really matters. Does every full moon have a name now? I guess if we didn’t have music I would have never known about the Blue Moon or the Harvest Moon. But the Pink Moon? That’s a new one…

Political Conventions (MM #1958)

The political conventions are over. Did anything happen at either convention that makes you change how you’ll be voting? I honesty doubt it. It seems that social media has changed us. Because most people have already made up their mind, and there’s nothing that will change it. And that seems to be much different than…

Social media has truly changed the way we connect with friends. Before social media came around, it was much easier to lose touch with old friends. But now, friends who live far away seem like they’re still just down the road. And that makes things much different when you do get together…
