Back to School? ALREADY?????

Yes, because it's been a month since school ended, and parents need something to give them hope that soon their kids will be out of their hair from 8 to 3.

One of my longtime friends, Karen Gilmour, is a graphic artist whose designs are now featured in Barnes & Nobles everywhere as part of their "back to school" collection.

Congratulations, Karen! To think, I knew you when...
