In two hours my daughter, Alana, will be leaving to catch a 5:00 am bus to Idaho with her ballroom dance team for a competition. Performing tours are not cheap and food is another expense. Since they'll be riding the bus for a number of hours, I packed up some food...

I was born a night owl. That's not hyperbole. Soon after the lawyer delivered me to my parents, they began asking, “Why can't she sleep?” and within a few years, I was asking (again and again), “Why can't I sleep?” To be clear, I've never had a...
