It's the Heat AND the Humidity
We knew it was coming. We knew St. Louis summer would arrive in full force at some point. So far, our summer months seem to have gone: April, May, May, May, October. You knew we couldn't escape without a run of July and August thrown in. It was fun while it laste…

No one has ever accused me of being an adult. At family gatherings, I sit at the kids’ table. I still use the phrase, “When I grow up…” I don’t own a business suit. “Doody” is part of my daily vocabulary. I always request a lollipop when I go to the …
