• Don’t Be a Bear

    A couple of weeks ago, I did a blog post on reasons to BE a bear. The reasons were pretty good, but I still am glad I’m NOT a bear because: Don’t have to eat my friends (probably wouldn’t have friends, actually) I like my fish cooked. Prefer my honey without bugs… While the free “nap”…
