It’s Father’s Day, and for those of you who are blessed enough to be one or still have one in your to celebrate, I envy you very much. Mine is now gone nine years, and his last Father’s Day on Earth also turned out to be the day he was by mistake taken to a … Read more
I’m blessed with many people who are somewhat frequent readers of these musings, though since I’m a stats expert I’m acutely aware how loose that definition is.
