Like a once-mighty citadel that, battered by years of wind and rain, starts to crumble — its stone foundations undermined, its cracked and fissured turrets toppling — I feel my paternal authority beginning to slip away.
Against my express wishes, my daughter got her ears pierced.
Oh, Gwyneth had already had them pierced once, back when she was in the fourth grade: a single, tasteful hole in the center of each lobe.
Dollywood fans enjoying a summer weekend had to flee the Tennessee theme park Sunday after strong storms sent floodwaters rushing through the park, forcing some to wade through nearly waist-deep water to get to their cars.
