Quote of the Week from Anne Frank

You need to read the entire chapter (better yet – the entire book) to gain full benefit but here are three of my favorite excerpts, words of wisdom bestowed upon David by Anne Frank: Read more

This weekend, Carolina plays the University of Miami.
We suggest that businesses in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area post welcoming signs in the door, windows and/or counter tops. The one we’ve created looks like this:
