Raoul’s Two Cents: June 18, 2021 Men and Little Men Father’s Day I was just talking with my male friends and somehow our conversation gravitated to our need to keep busy at home … at least to have the appearance of keeping busy. One of the guys was semi-retired and he said his weekends were actually busier than his week …
