What’s remarkable about her is that by her own admission, she has never seen an “R” [...]

In my previous post about the Super Bowl, I touched on the game and lessons learned (I am after a all a football nut and a spiritual leader). However, I still love to watch the commercials during the game. USA Today came out with their annual listing of the top commercials from the game this [...]
