The holidays are a perfect time to recognize and respond effectively to the early warning signs of bullying boyfriends, controlling girlfriends and domineering dates.  Whether these control-freaks are stimulated by holiday pressures and stresses, or they simply seize the opportunity to take charge of multiple events, their subversive, controlling tactics become more apparent during the […]

One of the shortcomings I remember the most about the Christian elementary school I attended was how a number of the less-than dedicated educators would punish all of the students for the misbehavior of a single pupil.  To this day, I remain convinced this had more to do with lazy teachers preferring not to mess […]

I have to make a confession, I love PBS and A&E, I really enjoy the classic British murder mystery shows. They have more heart in them than the shows served up on our cable system. CSI is fine, and certainly is well thought out, but mostly it lacks any depth.
Those Brits on the other hand […]

My wife Jan and I have talked about these cases so much that they are ingrained in our very being.
In one case the little girl is clearly dead, a year ago the black plastic garbage bag was found that contained her remains, just bones and some duct tape. Haleigh Cummings has dodged that situation for […]

I’ve had a flash of an idea that I wanted to share. It relates to Haleigh Cummings, Hassani Campbell and Adji Desir. An idea I temporarily called “Light The Way Home”. It turns out that it’s not new, or something I created. It’s being used to help aid awareness and shine some positive light onto the […]

I had this idea for a poem about these missing children and their families: Haleigh, Shaniya, Hassani, Somer, and so many others past & present. You might find it trite, silly, or just plain dumb. It’s ok…I won’t care. It has been written for those who it WILL touch thier hearts & hopefully show that […]

After a commenter, Tobias, mentioned Hassani Campbell and the lack of attention his case is now getting I vowed to look into it further and have done so. I can’t even start to guess where he is or who may have him, but I know my initial gut instinct when hearing about Hassani, that the […]

The Music And Talent Of Paul McCartney

I have to admit that I dropped everything when this book arrived. As a music reviewer and music lover, I do enjoy a good discussion about almost any aspect of the subject. In fact two days ago I ran a radio program on the subject of the state of […]

An old friend and long term neighbor and I met while leaving our building this morning. I asked how things were going with the homeless with whom she works through a local church. She said, “They can’t believe what is happening to them.”
It used to be that our homeless were mentally injured veterans, addicts, or […]

An Open Letter to Rush Limbaugh:
Rush, since I can never get through and have no time to sit and dial, redial, etc. This will have to suffice.  Slim chance that you’ll ever read it but maybe some caring person will forward it to you.    They do you an extreme disservice if they do not.
Lets […]

Sarah Palin is still making headlines, and her book “Going Rogue” is now a best seller.
Much of what I have read about her and the book seems to be viewed through the “inner beltway” mindset, by those who automatically hate those of a different political persuasion. All of these opinions try to calculate how the […]
