Last night on Twitter, Justin Kownacki said: “God’s rightful role for families is a patriarchy in which women submit to men? Thank god; I’m a shitty listener.” Now, I follow a number of people with whom I disagree, and I have said things that I’m sure are grating to them, so I tend to let… Continue reading this entry
This is the day in which we celebrate those who have served and live among us. All I can say is “thank you,” to everyone who has served in the military. I do not know of anyone who doesn’t know a serviceman, and I hope you have spent a few seconds to thank this person… Continue reading this entry
When I went to TEDx MidAtlantic last Thursday, I knew that I would have to keep an open mind to views that are different from my own.

Expanded, it means “National Blog Posting Month,” and the only ticket to entry is to post something every day of the month. I came across a few difficulties with my thrice-a-week posting schedule. Work commitments got in the way. However, with the power of post scheduling, a massive library of photos that I have yet… Continue reading this entry
