What is in a name....

What is in a name, or a store front for that matter. I was on vacation this past week and traveled back to the town in which I grew up. The biggest thing that happened was when we got an all night gas station, only the town made it close up after 11pm. While driving through the center of town I noticed that there is a  new tattoo parlor. Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against new businesses, but its the name.The tattoo parlor is called " Virgin Mary Tattoos", and that is the issue i have.
Now if it is just a name, why not call it Tattoos by Muhammad, or Koran approved tattoos, how about Satin's Stain tattoos ? I think society feels its OK to attack the Catholic faith but will walk on egg shells for other religions. I think that the new Tattoo parlor needs to change its name, what do you think ?

Spring Break.. Oh NO...

So here we are in the eve of spring Break and all i can do is wonder. Will my kids remember the trip? Will the dog miss us? Will the house be OK while we are gone? All the time i spend wondering what might happen instead of what WILL happen. We will be all together. We will see our friends and family. We will make memories that will last a lifetime. Let us all stop focusing on what might and push the will's. Have a restful, enjoyable, and above all else memorable vacation.
