I sold my house but I don't want to move

I sold my house but I don't want to move
In 35 days I will be moving. I don’t want to go but as I do, I would like to say a few words. A few words of love to my humble home of the past 22 years: When I first stepped through your doors I remember thinking about the thrill of owning a home. I... Read more »

Urban Outfitters Tee Shirt - do we even need to ask this question??

Urban Outfitters Tee Shirt - do we even need to ask this question??
This Tee shirt is causing a stir. Do we need to ask why? This week we had Yom Hashoah, the Holocaust day of remembrance. This is a picture of the star that Jews were forced to wear to identify them: I cannot understand the reasoning of Urban to not only select a six pointed star... Read more »

Cubs opening day: What will it ever take for things to change?
Perhaps I’m just a glutton for punishment. Maybe I simply live in a dream world. I actually thought that yesterday’s home opener on such a sunny yet windy day, would produce a win. Call me crazy. It was my 25th wedding anniversary and I thought it would be a beautiful day for a ball game.... Read more »

Lauren Spierer: Possible break in case? Or not?

Lauren Spierer: Possible break in case? Or not?
Since the interest level in the search for Lauren remains high, I continue to hope for a break in the case. One of my daughter’s texted me yesterday “Did you hear about Lauren Spierer?” As someone who follows the case like a job, my stomach dropped. I had not heard but called her back immediately....
