Not Perfect By Any Stretch

This network allows me to post mostly positive messages, but lest you think I'm leading the charmed life, here's a word from our sponsor:  It has been one of those "full moon" weeks already -- me running out of gas, teenage son having a fender-bender in the school parking lot, arguments with spouse, disrespectful teens, unfinished homework, failed science exam, missing debit card, expired coupons I meant to use, dead batteries in all portable phones, nearby conversations that are obviously "exclusive," unreplied emails, and a partridge in a pear tree ungraded paper about St. Augustine's pear tree theft.
