  My oldest daughter, who just started Kindergarten this year, brings home more paper artwork than we can handle. It’s pretty tough to pick out the things that we want to keep out of the bunch every week. I have a bankers box for the things that ...

  I was looking through my style book the other day on where to put a period in relation to quotation marks and brackets. Not exactly exiting reading, but it does offer some guidance on rules that are seldom used. I also wanted to see where it says to ...
