My fellow parents: take this as an opportunity to praise your kids for making good choices. Our teenagers could be doing this, and they're choosing not to. Let them know you see that.

Do my kids roll their eyes and laugh when I tell them things like "hey good job not being part of a gun theft ring, I see you making good choices and I appreciate that"? Yes. But I also know they love being seen, and they appreciate that I see that they are good kids. Also, it always starts good conversations.

You'll get better responses if you give an idea of what kind of fun you're looking for, how much time you have, and whether it's daytime or evening.

If you're looking to be outside (it's supposed to be 55 degrees on Saturday), the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge is beautiful and right near the airport.

I'm a vet and I really thought after Trump made fun of John McCain for being a Prisoner of War, he would never win.

I'm a Democrat and it's not like I agreed with most of McCain's political stances but for God's sake the man dedicated his entire adult life to serving his country. He was held captive for 5-1/2 years, tortured, and permanently disabled.
