Driving to work and dreading the typical Saturday night hectic mess I knew it would overwhelm me. So I light a smoke and try to concentrate on the road ahead. Pulling into the parking lot of the Pizza shop I try to put my work face on and be positive. I walk in to 20 orders already up on the board.

When I was young my parents ran the universe. They were my "higher power."

When I was around six years of age a friend and I were busy playing when my father decided to present each of us with one of his personal checks in the amount of one million dollars.  I have no recollection about preceding details, but what lingers is the instant rush of exuberance this daughter felt as she hastily assessed her investment options.

Dear Frank

I’ve been with my boyfriend for two months now and things are going great except for one thing. Recently, I’ve noticed that if I leave something at his place then I never get it back. It started with simple things like clothes that I would leave over there. Now I’ve noticed larger items missing from my apartment, like a table lamp, mini TV, and wall pictures.
