Memorial Day


No politics today. Just a simple thank you to those who have given their lives in service of our great nation. Whatever side one is on, may we all use today to remind each other that we are all, in fact, on the same side.

Democrats, Republicans and everyone in between and beyond have the same debt to the men and women who died and continue to die in the belief that those of us on the home front have the RIGHT to disagree -- even when we are wrong.

My Summer Vacation


Hmm . . . some things are best written about after they occur. Good thing this ain't one of 'em.

So far, my vacation has consisted of grading exams, writing comments, getting ready for summer school, prepping for in-law visits, worrying about money and feeling anxious about how all this unscheduled time is playing upon my peace of mind.

God, I can't wait for school to start.
