Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
I can't be the only one who has posed this question, right? But I just need to get this out there as he on the verge of potentially yet another freaky upset against the often equally reviled Tom Brady and the Patriots in the playoffs this weekend.

2011 Year in Photos by Pete Souza - a set on Flickr. I'm sharing this here because I don't think of this set of photos as being political in nature. What it IS, is a history of the year in the White House which, no matter your political persuasion, is OUR history too. What I... Continue Reading →
