I [...]
We Do Need That Education After All – The Not As Well Known Pink Floyd Song
Posted May 13th 2013 by kmarrsA Brilliant Mind
Posted March 29th 2013 by kmarrsWe all brag on our kids. So know that I know we all consider our kids to be the next Einstein, Henry Ford, Marie Curie, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Da Vinci, or in my case, Sheldon Cooper. I do wholeheartedly get that.

Posted April 24th 2012 by kmarrsRight now, after 9 really long, hard years, things are finally really starting to look brighter.
