Show of hands: How many of you have ever lost your phone before? Hah – yeahhhh. For those that are blessed enough to not be sheepishly raising their hand right now, let’s just say — it is a nightmare I wouldn’t wish on Regina George. So I lost my phone on Saturday night.

I was asked by numerous readers to write about Saturday’s Charlottesville terrorism, and truthfully, I’m sick to my stomach thinking about the grosslyContinue reading Charlottesville Wake Up Call
