“Who Would You Trust With Your…?”
One of the highest compliments you can pay someone is “I’d trust you with my life.” Now, Facebook is giving you the opportunity to top that sentiment with “I’d trust you with my on-line life.” Responding to feedback from its users, Facebook has installed a “Legacy Contact” feature which allows you to choose someone to […]

A Pool Mom Looks Back
After 15 summers, I am packing away my dented, lime-green Wheelie cooler, retiring my canvas L.L. Bean towel tote, and literally hanging up my khaki “Pool Mom” baseball hat. I am a pool mom no more. You can’t be a pool mom without children to take to the pool. My son, 20, and in college, […]
