A co-worker asked me today if I knew Al Becker, who works at a local ad agency.
Of course, I kind of rubbed my chin and said, "Al Becker. Al Becker. No, I

a nice little Mayberry moment for me!
Last night my husband and I were watching the news and they announced that the
police have decided to try to use hypnosis to solve crimes. I looked over at
