2974 lost but not forgotten…
The sculpture in the mosaic is called The Sphere. It was situated at the base of the World Trade Center and survived the collapse of both towers. Its temporary home is in Battery Park but it will be moved back once the new towers are built. It stands as a testament to the strength of […]
Virginia Tech Commentary
This will probably be my only commentary on the Virginia Tech tragedy but I wanted to post it. Robert Siegel, an NPR host, gave this two minute commentary that completely hits the mark on an issue that has been on my mind as I have heard and read the enormous amount of articles on the […]
Respect for Ms. Beyoncé
I am not a Beyoncé devotee nor have I ever even listened to her music (I only recognized 2 of the songs) but I had a chance to attend her concert last night via a friend who is a Rodeo volunteer. I must say that she is a wonderful performer. Her dance moves are athletic […]
The Meaning of Life
I watched Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life once again this weekend and have decided that I completely agree with their conclusion at “The End of the Film”… I truly believe that this is my life philosophy: “Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get […]

A TV Character to Admire

Not just funny and witty but actually thought out in terms of the statements they are making with each case they try. Over and over, James Spader‘s character, Alan Shore, gives amazing, insightful speeches. […]

I love L’Engle!
My favorite childhood author, Madeleine L’Engle, passed away earlier this month. I read her Time Quartet when I was in late elementary/early middle school and devoured several more of her books that were not in the series. I had Kenny buy me the series again a couple of years but they had been collecting dust […]
