Last January, a radio DJ here in Houston (Kevin Kline) decided to train for an entire year to run a nearly 500- mile, 13-day ultramarathon across Texas to raise awareness about pediatric cancer, and to raise money for ...

Tsk Tsk: A Messy Closet Clean-Up Story
I am obsessed with my closet. I want it to look like a pretty display case for all of my clothes. I feel my clothes deserve to be stored in a lovely, organized closet.Sometimes when I'm busy, my closet turns into a disaster. My poor husband usually just leaves it alone, because I have a "system" of how I hang and organize everything, and he ...
