Guest Blog: Betty and Veronica Revisted
Hello! this is a guest blog from Barbara Greenberg, PhD. I’ve never had a guest blogger, but this came up and seemed cool because I am having issues communicating with Junior.

The Great Ear Piercing of 2011
Well, he did it. Junior has two extra holes in his head, which honestly I’m hoping doesn’t lead to extra holes in other places.
