Hi folks. I haven’t been on WordPress for a while, so I will try to bring you up to date on what’s happening in the Porter Universe.

I saw this poem on my cousin’s wall back in the 1970’s: If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn. If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight. If a child lives with fear, he learns to be apprehensive. If a child lives with pity, he learns to feel sorry for … More So what have I learned?
