I am approaching what could best be described as the contemplative stage of life. Savoring the adventures and the victories, dryly musing about the things I should have done differently – or should not have done at all. Regrets? I have a few. However, I will never regret wire brushing

Worth repeating.
I’m a big fan of Jim Wright. Besides the fact that he and I are in alignment on most things – I like the fact that he is blunt and unafraid to take on controversial subjects. That is certainly true in his most recent face book post. Be sure to

I think I am not alone when I say that I felt relieved when the verdict for Derek Chauvin was announced today. I did not expect to see the jury convict on all three counts. That said – it was clear that the prosecution had made a strong case, and
