My kids and I attended a preview last week of the new Disney movie High School Musical. My mom had gotten free passes and we were all excited to see the movie. It was a rush to get to the movie theatre and we ate our sandwiches while the local radio and television stations passed [...]

She and I have in common that we want to remember [...]
