Neighbors Make A Difference
If you watch any TV sitcoms, you’ve seen annoying neighbors characterized: Mr. Roper from “Three's Company”; Ned Flanders from “The Simpsons”; and Kimmie Gibbler from “Full House” to name just a few. Many of us can relate to these sitcom neighbors because we’ve had at least one annoying neighbor in our lives. An annoying neighbor may be nosy, inappropriate or just always around. I’m sure some people think my wife and I are annoying neighbors because our chocolate Labrador Dawson has a bark that can be heard from space.

The Technology Two-Step And Kids
I recently went to my kids’ school to have lunch with each of my boys. When it was time to sit down with my third grader, he introduced me to his “girlfriend.” It was my first time meeting her. One of the first things she asked me was whether or not I was “funny like Tyler?” Tyler is my older son. He jumped in before I could respond, answering, “Oh yeah. He’s funny on TV every day.” His girlfriend excitedly asked, “Oh, you have you own YouTube Channel?”
