June 7, 2018 Grave situation for hours outside Detroit Aug. 26, 2018 UPDATE: Grave marker raised and leveled, in early August. I may be back in a few weeks. I don’t go on…
May 13, 2018 In defense: The good Facebook can do when used by the right people First, happy Mother’s Day to everyone to whom that applies. I hope you’re having a great day! Second, today is also the celebration of…
April 25, 2018 Who says everything I write is negative (but correct)? This is my 90th blog post and like most journalists, I identify mistakes all over and somehow — often through publicity — try to…
April 10, 2018 Distorting history, stirring up stereotypes It’s not easy being a moderate. That’s definitely what I consider myself and it seems to make people on both sides angry. Either that,…
March 20, 2018 Be nicer to Mike Jerrick, and other thoughts on what’s making news People who know me can never, ever say I’m not loyal to people I like and respect. You’ll see that in a moment, along…
February 15, 2018 Killing kids and desecrating the name of Marjory Stoneman Douglas I didnāt plan on writing two blogs in two days completely from scratch, but the news calls for it. Yesterday, around this time, I…
February 8, 2018 School out, Eagles’ championship parade on! I really didn’t know what to make of school districts cancelling classes for a parade and celebration for Super Bowl LII champions, the Philadelphia…
January 18, 2018 Sad stereotypes too strong to silence (for now) Last night, I did something I rarely do: open a Facebook post to the public, rather than just friends. Today, I’m blogging about the…
January 15, 2018 More details on Israel after the gay paper I got up extremely early this morning to take Pedro to work, since he didn’t get the holiday off. Soon after getting home, I…
February 17, 2017 Beating Welch’s un-kosher coupon policy I don’t get shocked too much anymore. Maybe that’s from age, or having done a lot of things in a lot of places. Maybe…
January 30, 2016 A better bedroom (and bigger blog) I have to start off by saying this blog post is late. I warned you when I was finishing the last one. It wasn’t…
January 6, 2016 Getting into the season It took way too long for Mother Nature, the holiday season and me, but it finally started feeling like winter. Monday, Jan. 4, was the…
December 14, 2015 The one week mark It’s now a week since the bathroom construction started. It would’ve been done by now if BathFitter had ordered the right bath tub, or…
December 6, 2015 Big bathroom news! It’s not the most appetizing title, but I realized you were craving pictures of the house before the first major renovation. I should…
November 15, 2015 Past time to stop terror once and for all, not necessarily for the French I love being back in news. Sure, the hours are long, especially when you don’t have a boss. (My new one starts Nov. 30)….
June 8, 2015 From the Tri-Cities to the Tri-States It’s me again. I have to write more often. It doesn’t have to be a book. Saving stuff up is too time-consuming, anyway. I’d…
May 17, 2015 Odds & ends from 3 weeks I haven’t posted anything in about 3 weeks. (I also haven’t heard from you asking for a post. Unbelievable! What’s up with that?) I…
April 12, 2015 Spring cleaning and Passover food It’s April and there’s a lot of spring cleaning going on in the Tri-Cities and other places. Garry and I really aren’t doing any…
April 5, 2015 A week of firsts Spring is often thought of as a time of renewal, the first season. I’ve had some firsts over the past week or so. Starting…
February 16, 2015 Using African migrants as an excuse to bash Israel I rarely get involved in discussions I see on Facebook, other than liking a post or signing a petition. Unfortunately, what I saw today had…
