Washington’s a mixed bag right now. Some things make me smile. Others feel a little scary. But it’s early, so we need to give Obama more time to see where things will go. It appears that just about everything will go whichever way he decides they should go, since he has majority rule in the […]
Martin Luther King, Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech is well known, even if it’s only for a phrase or two, but another of his speeches is as appropriate today as it was when he first told us “I’ve been to the mountain top.” I See the Promised Land Thank you very kindly, my friends. […]

I just received a news alert from The New York Times. We have been in a recession since December, 2007. I wonder what made it so difficult that it took a year for this group of economists to finally decide that. I don’t suppose it was because the government wanted to keep us in the dark about […]
A breaking news alert from the New York Times states that Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang is stepping down as soon as a replacement is found. Yang has been in the news recently with Yahoo’s little dance with Google and Microsoft. You can read more about this at Boom Town, including the memo that Yang wrote to […]
Today we have another guest post written by one of my flybaby friends, Satoyna. She’s had her world turned upside down this past year and a half. Read why. This is for all you “surprise parents” out there. The “surprise” you ask? It would be a parent with a 14 and 10 year old, and […]
