    I know who you are.
    I’ve seen tell-tale signs of what you have been up to.
    Now, the time has come for you to step up and show us what you’ve got.

    Why  must it fall to strangers to remind us that we have cool stuff at home?
    As I mentioned in my column two weeks ago, my wife and I have hosted high school exchange students for the last five years. It has been a rewarding experience in many ways.
