My dad sometimes talks too much. When he gets going, you almost have a Vaudeville-style hook to “pull” him out of the room! Once in a while, my mom will actually do this herself.
Sometimes, I get that way, so there are times while I’m talking to someone that I actually become overly-conscious about it, and I tend to clam …

There’s only one day of the week that Halloween hasn’t fallen on since this blog began. What day of the week would you guess that is?
For those who weren’t motivated to look it up, I wanted to be sure to post the answer.
The very first edition of the Saturday Six …
Though I’m sure I’ve asked Halloween-themed Saturday Six questions before, this is the first time since this blog began that Halloween actually fell on a Saturday. So I couldn’t possibly ignore the holiday this time around!
