Orlando. Forty-nine dead, and more wounded. All because a mentally ill fundamentalist religious fanatic had access to military-grade weapons. I keep trying to find something good about this situation. Not...
My social media feeds have been filled with outrage this week. While that’s not unusual (I rage, therefore I post), the subject, for once, is worthy of all the anger. ...
“I like New York in June. How about you?” sang Frank Sinatra among others, including me. I usually start singing it as soon as the weather gets nice. And, yes, I...
