How can I talk about the naughty word without spelling it? I would like to discuss “That Word,” that four letter-word that begins with an F. It has moved into our daily life really without much notice and it is also printed in the dictionary on my desk, which was printed back in 2002. I…

March 26th-April 1st, 2022 Finally April! Finally some sun and warmth after a very long week of below average temps and gloomy skies (not to mention the snow and ice; really, do NOT mention it).
