That's Carole Lombard with her kid (that's the term used to refer to baby goats). Like Carole, I've never had an actual child (although as a male, I'd merely sire the "kid" -- you women do the difficult part of giving birth). However, I consider myself the parent, of sorts,...   read more

March 14, 2006 I almost forgot that today was my mother’s 71st birthday. I say almost because I finally remembered at 11:16 p.m. And I was presented with a dilemma. My parents, objectively speaking, are old. They live in a retirement community in Port St. Lucie, Florida. And there’s not   read more
