We are not related to Mel Brooks, Garth Brooks, or Brooks&Dunn. But now that we are on the internet, maybe we will become as famous as the men mentioned above. On second thought, probably not. We are not funny and we cannot sing. Anyhow, enjoy the site!

Random Thoughts...Hugs
As a child, did your elders ever seem so big and tall to you. Like they could pick you up and just squeeze the life out of you when they would give you a hug? I loved those hugs. I miss those hugs. And then there is a point in your adult life that you go to hug one of your elders and they seem so fragile and delicate that you squeeze them gently to let them know you love them, but softly enough in order to avoid breaking them.
I have always wondered: When is it that you and your parents meet in the middle, that delicate balance when your hugs are equal? Equal strengths. Equal length. Equal height. What happens when you have your own children, and when do you "meet in the middle"? What about spouses? They are usually the same age and physical fitness level as you. So what's the perfect hug?
I figure, a hug us the shortest distance between two friends...and,
"A hug is a perfect gift. It's one-size fits all and no one minds if you exchange it."
Like I said...random thoughts. Go give someone a hug today. (Not at work, that's "objectionable behavior" if it's unwanted, lol.)
