As I left my home this afternoon at 2 PM, I noticed a 20-person or so, bunch of teenage boys, in shorts, running past my house. They were followed by other groups of boys, mostly running, but some walking, and they all looked hot to me. I assumed they were students at Oak Park High School, [...]

As of 4:00 this afternoon, I am proudly CPR and AED Certified, my first time ever! And, if you had asked me a week ago what AED stood for, I probably would have stared at you blankly, and now, I not only know it stands for Automatic External Defibrillator (actually, I had to look that up [...]
