You Took My Job!

Friday, May 31st, 2013

First posted May 1, 2009 Obama still wants to give illegal immigrants a “pathway” to become legal.  I’m sorry, but that pathway should have started at the border.  Instead, they enter illegally and continue to break the law on a daily basis.  I know that Obama wanted the Hispanic vote and a good way to […]

First posted March 19, 2009 I traveled for a long time last night and managed to cover a lot of territory.  Some of it was exciting, some inspiring, some sentimental and some just made me smile.  A lot.  I started with the incredible sounds of Il Divo andAmaging Grace.  I just recently discovered this group when a friend sent […]

The Rubber Room

Wednesday, May 29th, 2013

First Posted March 18, 2009 I listened to an NPR program on the way home from work last Saturday night that taught me about an incredible place in New York City.  It’s called the rubber room.  A site about The Big Apple gives us the definition so we’ll know why the “reassignment centers” for NYC teachers are […]

Tied to My Strings

Monday, May 27th, 2013

First posted February 28, 2009 My apron strings that is.  I’ve decided that I need some.  My mother many times told me, “I can dress you up, but I can’t take you out.”  What does this mean, you ask?  It means that she would get me dressed up to go out and by the time […]

One Body

Sunday, May 26th, 2013
