Three Januaries in a row

Two years ago, Herb and I made our last trip together to see Mom and Dad. I had just received the GPS and we played with it as I drove down. Last year, I went down to visit Mom and Dad and help them get some paperwork done after Herb died. This year I’m not...

Is consistency all it's cracked up to be?
