1 Age

  • 1. It's not always possible to sit down and eat at home in this day and age of fast-paced living but if you are going to eat out do so as a family and support all the great local places in your areas. I'll still eat at the same diner I did as a kid with my parents.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Designed by architects with honorable intentions but hands of palsy.
  • 2. Once I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect I just started my own little design studio.
