If Reverend Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson can come together when it comes to the urgency of protecting the planet, I think we all can come together too. Why not sign up for wecansolveit.org and show them that you...
Well, it's once again Father's Day, a day that we set aside to honor our earthly fathers who have gone before us, reared us, and taught us well. Just the same as last year, I have the most amazing father,...

Yesterday, Kevin Scarbinsky wrote this article in the Birmingham News. In it he talks about the growing trend of college athletic departments contracting with sports-centered placement firms to help in AD staff (i.e. coaches) hiring.

At first glimpse of Laura's photo for this week's "15 Words or Less" poetry challenge, "mercury rising" popped into my mind. I've never seen the 1998 Bruce Willis thriller, so my apologies if it's an unsavory association--ignorance...bliss, yes?
