Rise and shine. Another sunny day is on the way. And as usual, we are off to a busy start. Once again, we are hustling the short people off to their assorted schoolhouses. They are heading into the home stretch before the comfy and lazy summer days envelope them. As for us, we are quaffing yet another cup of stimulation to cope with the many tasks that lie ahead. We trust you can relate, so please join us. After all, a little fortifcation can be a good thing. Meanwhile, here are some tidbits. Hope your day goes well and drop us a line if you come across something we would want to know...

Thanks for the note and as Archie Bunker used to say: no intense offended. Seriously, I've been using that description for years, but only and always as a term of endearment. This is in contrast to Randy Newman, who I understand was seriously straightforward when he sang about the 'vertically challenged,' as you put it, back in 1977.
I can wistfully recall when my heirs were fairly close to the ground and, moreover, shorter than me. And so, the nickname has stuck, in my mind, anyway. This is no reflection on you, of course. Stature is in the heart. I hope you understand.
