Daily Workup: Introduction

My wife and I have noticed that,  over the course of our 13 years of marriage, we have these certain moments in time where we really connect.  These little moments in time, of course, tend to come at strange hours such as three o' clock in the morning when we finally give up on tryingon for at least two hours until the first one yawns then it's another hour of "okay let's go to sleep now",  followed by several instances of "OK, one last thing and I'll be quiet."

When I look back at my most stressful times I imagine them in fast motion and like a Charlie Chaplin film and some of them are quite funny.  I hope you agree!  Nevertheless, I have no idea where this blog is going so just hang on and let's take a ride!
