February 19, 2015 by Kim Dalferes

I have come to love February. Not because of Valentine’s Day and certainly not for the weather. My fondness for this second month of the year has evolved per my family’s involvement in charitable fundraising.   My admiration for February began several years ago with my son Jimmy’s participation in THON.

Why I Love Millennials

February 7, 2014 by Kim Dalferes

**Updated from original posting on February 14, 2012** Observing our world from the middle-aged cheap seats, I can recite a litany of reasons to not love what I see.

Whoa…. I Just Said What?!

December 28, 2012 by Kim Dalferes

As it’s the end of the year, I’ve been reflecting a bit on the happenings in my life across 2012. Overall, from my vantage point up here in the middle-aged cheap seats, it was a pretty good year.
