This story just caught me by surprise. That being said, it’s still a sickening story. Last Friday, there was a girls’ high school basketball game in Oklahoma. The contest between Midwest City and Norman High was a key matchup in the girls’ Class 6A quarterfinals. The national anthem played. And some of the girls on…

Read MoreAndrew Cuomo’s got the groove.
Again, I have a serious love-hate relationship with the social media site reddit. There are days when it is a funny, informative place, and there are days when I want to take a bath in ammonia after visiting the site.

Read MoreSo I guess I’m not going to White Plains after all.
All right, March 29th, going to motor on down to White Plains for my first COVID-19 vaccine shot. And yeah, I’m kinda stoked.

So for the past few days, I’ve watched people clutch their pearls and display overt outrage that the estate of Dr. Seuss has removed six books from its catalog, based on the books containing unsuitable and racist imagery. And when people start freaking out over Dr. Seuss – trust me, they’ve not canceled Green Eggs…

So every Saturday, I step aside and showcase the blogs and writings and photos of these great people on my personal blogroll. I’ve done this at least once a week on my blog, and have done so for many years. Today, I decided to add something new. Instead of only posting a link to these…
