I’m still continuing the 365 days of photos. Today was day 108. As I can’t post it for privacy reasons, here was yesterday’s–looking down/the Arkansas Delta:

Recently, I had to do an oral history project for one of my classes. Thereafter, I decided to interview my parents about basically everything I could imagine.

Kleenex has launched a new website entitled “Get Mommed,” where you can choose a mom to give you “extra care” this cold and flu season. You have your choices of race, ethnicities, socio-economic statuses . . . Are you gagging yet? ‘Cause I am.
