Transparent Senate Trial (Second Letter to Senator Todd Young + Senator Mike Braun)
Gentlemen;This is my second public letter to Senator Young and first to Senator Braun. I have crafted this letter in hope of an even-handed response to allegations against President Trump. The White House has prevented several key staffers from testifying in the House trial fearful that the trial would not be fair. In response, Mitch…

Reform What? [An Open Letter to Senator Todd Young]
Senator Young; I write to clearly delineate reasons why this is the most misinformed effort at Tax Reform ever attempted and why it is imperative that it fail. Every attempt at a particular economic strategy known as “trickle-down economics” or “voo-doo economics” or even “supply-side” economics has been met with resistance and has proven to…

Neither Blue Nor Red
Evan Bayh was one of the first to state and to resign as a U.S. senator in response to the gridlock in Washington. Old guard figures inclined to cross the aisle and do the work of enacting law have been replaced by new neophyte politicos whose sole purpose is to satisfy voter mandates regarding singular…

My first period class is gathered now in the Monday morning aftermath. This kids are being tight-lipped about it; while assuming a business-as-usual demeanor. I am sickened…

From Back in the Day . . .
When I was a kid, my grandmother had a friend. She was a play-aunt that we visited periodically. Her name was Glennie and she was a lovely brown woman with laughing eyes, a hearty laugh and salt/pepper hair. One evening a dinner party was planned and my mom, grandmother and two younger brothers went…

Healing Society’s Soul
It is not a vanity to use this post to publicize (and politicize) choices, upturns and downfalls in our culture and these United States. We are both grateful and perplexed by the turn of events and the directions we are moving. It is not vanity to post an article that my brother was interviewed for…

Happy-ah
I actually am a fan. I was a fan after watching the first Despicable Me movie when we happened to stay through the credits and I heard more of the movie’s soundtrack. The music was light and airy and more r&b than hip-hop, described by music wonks as ‘neo-soul’. I enjoyed several songs during the…

P’s to the Future!!
Dear Readers;Mid-April doesn’t seem like Mid-April this year, As I return from Spring Break in a place that has a bit more warmth, I decided to share it with you via this beautiful orchid sitting in a doorway. Too much political bickering and too little peace and calm in our cities and towns. Too…
