Ordinarily I don’t much care for celebrity stuff and the only reality television that I watch are cooking shows and competitions. I didn’t even know what a Lady Gaga was until recently and other than the lessons a father can glean from Tiger Wood’s situation I truly could care ...
As we started thinking about what little man could be for Halloween this year we didn’t really have any preconceived notions, it just had to be something cool – as defined by me. The extent of last year’s costume was a onesie that said “this is my costume” because ...
