This Seems Right

It’s amazing the way our minds can justify our actions.  I remember my grandmother telling me as a boy “Just one plum”, as I headed toward her pantry. In my mind I reasoned, “They’re kind of small and besides, I’m helping her with the chores, and I need to keep my strength up.  I’ve never forgot th...
