Mom on the Run: The Next Chapter

I have just lain down, ready for bed, when – darn it! I meant to go online and order black pumps today. I want the exact same as the fabulous gray shoes I just got, but in black.

Police said the 43-year-old victim, of Gainesville, was sitting in a chair at George Hellwig Memorial Park at 14418 Bristow Road at Independent Hill and felt a sharp pain in her right thigh.

OPINION

I’m taking a break from this column to catch up on other projects.  Anyone who wishes to talk about…  well…  just about anything…  knows where to find me:  My “office” (which is either he Starbucks at the corner of Hoadly Road and the Prince William Parkway or at Potomac Town Center) or my front porch.

I never studied political science, nor did I participate on any debate team, but if you want to know what it takes to win my vote, here’s the way it works for me.
