In the world of the large shell-less beings, when someone is facing a big obstacle, there is such a thing as “raising the bar.” Taking it to the next level. Bringing your “A” game. Being in it to win it. Upping the ante (whatever an “ante” is). Of course, this is easier when your opponentContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Moving the Brick”

Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Color Coordination, Camouflage and Cuteness
With age comes wisdom. At least if you are born with feathers.
