Irreplaceable

However after a weekend of tail wagging fun exploring new places, I returned to discover the unfortunate consequences of my reckless behavior. Due to a series of unforeseen events I learned an important lesson – I’m irreplaceable! I never should […]

For Those About to Walk
Once again Adolescent Asa has discovered a “new” song, and has decided to put his own spin on the lyrics. For the past week every morning he has been singing, “For Those About to Walk.” Yep, this time Asa is reinterpreting the lyrics to AC/DC’s classic anthem For Those About to Rock. Seriously Mom, you […]
