VIDEO: Bad Lip-Reading

I need a laugh.  Especially after dealing with an Internet service outage at home for more than two weeks thanks to some new construction a few hundred yards away from my place.  There’s a bit of frustration in being a blogger and being unable to comment on the goings-on in the world around me.  There [...]

The Public and the Private

Following a recent and brief phone conversation that I shared with Jeff, I got to thinking about the very nature of the argument that is ripping at the fabric of our country. Specifically, I began ruminating on the two general sides of our society, the public sector and the private sector. We’ve all been raised having [...]

Recalling Innocence Lost

At the time, I recall thinking about how crystal clear the sky was in Philadelphia on that brisk Tuesday morning in September.  There was not a cloud in the sky, and the weather alone made September 11, 2001 the kind of day that you look up, smile, and thank God for being so blessed as [...]
