I’m not sure time could be passing any more quickly for me than it currently does. I saw this wonderful quote from Robin Williams about being kind to people and I felt sad that he is no longer with us. I remember thinking it must have been three or four years since he died, but …
Uh oh. The media has all of a sudden become obsessed with the disappearance and killing of another pretty white girl. Call me a cynic, but there are only two reasons this happens.

When I was working in Colorado in the late 1980s, a colleague of mine who wrote a weekly column published a collection of his pieces. I purchased a copy of his book and asked him to inscribe it to me. He did just that, and when I looked at what he had written, I had …

Think about this if you will, because the man with these beliefs has at least a slim chance of becoming governor of California today. — Repeal all vaccine and mask mandates in the current pandemic. — Not sure climate change has anything to do with state wildfires. — Ban all abortions. — Repeal all minimum …

“If you live long enough, you will lose everyone you ever loved.” I don’t know exactly when I first heard those words, but I do remember the first time they meant something to me. It was Thanksgiving 2008, a very”circle of life” year in my life. In January that year, I lost my job after …
I was more than 2,500 miles from New York and Washington and nearly that far from Shanksville, Pa., 20 years ago today. My first awareness of the attacks came at about 7 a.m. I had gotten ready to leave for word when I turned on my computer to check my email on AOL (yes, the …
