I've always wanted to say that I'm running off to join the circus. In fact, let's be honest - I've always wanted to actually join the circus. However, it appears that I've cultivated some deep roots in northwest Arkansas and I don't think the circus is in the cards... not that my children would object, obviously. So, I decided my next best option was to form a cult. It's official, and I'm pretty excited about it. Naturally, in a cult-ish manner, I'd like to invite ... View Post
