"I see men, women, and children," answered the rich

When my daughter, Shannon, was five years old, she came into the kitchen just a few minutes before supper asking, "May I have a Twinkie" please?" I replied, "No! Supper will be served in just a few minutes."

My dad used to tell a story about an old Georgia redneck who would routinely head out into the swamp and return with a boat full of fish—more than anyone could conceivably catch, even in a long day of fishing with rod and reel. Well, in the course of time, his exceptional good luck caught the

When I was 8 years old, my mother took my sister and I to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. It is a fascinating place where you can spend days seeing everything. Of particular interest to me was a large whale in the mammals exhibition. It was big and took up the size of a large room.
