The Weekly Whisper – October 22, 2011

by thesaleswhisperer on Sun

Life Is Worth Living So Live It. Today I may ramble a bit. You’ve been warned. Today my fifth baby, third baby girl, turns 7. Her name is Mary-Claire. (That’s her in the photo above turning 3 in the San Diego Children’s *Hospital.) With six (6) children from the same wife with no multiple births I regularly hear wise, creative, loving people ask kind, thoughtful, personal questions like: Are you done yet? (Like a loaf of bread?) Don’t you know what causes that? (Yes I do and I like it very much.) Don’t you own a TV? (Do you have a nice one you want to get rid of?) What, are you religious or something?
