Tricky Tuesday: A Day For Groundhogs And Assorted Animals
The two big events of the week, the Iowa caucuses and Groundhog Day, have me thinking. It’s sort of a Freaky Friday kind of thing, where everything is switched up and it’s hard to distinguish the top GOP candidates from … Continue reading

Matchmaker Matchmaker Make Me A Match

A while back I read a story about the inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That was the first time I realized that the band Yes has never been inducted. Some have ascribed their absence to the … Continue reading
Hot And Bothered Deep In The Heart Of Texas
Vanessa Foster, fellow blogger and author of the extraordinary book More Than Everything, asked me recently what I’ve got against Texas. For the record, it’s not that I have something specifically against Texas, it’s just not my kind of place. … Continue reading
