Retailers Should Really Be Ashamed Of Themselves October hadn’t even ended and the few stores I walked into were full of Christmas trees, decorations, candy, and “special, early shopper prices”. I hate this time of year. I don’t do Christmas. You will not find green & red anywhere in my home and you most certainly … Continue reading Retailers Should Really Be Ashamed Of Themselves

My brother's best friend came home from Afghanistan having been shot on duty that wasn't supposed to be dangerous. He was awarded a Purple Heart prior to being discharged.

No, it’s always been “What ARE you?”, with such profound emphasis, as if … Continue reading Coming Out Of The Ancestral “Closet”

The world was irrevocably changed on September 11th,2001. Lives were affected globally. People cried and mourned, and unfortunately in certain countries, some people celebrated what they felt would be the demise of America.
