For over half a century, Americans soaring confidence had always promised a sugar-frosted future filled with frost free fun and abundance and economic prosperity. But that Buoyant bubble of optimism has since gone bust. Along with our jobs, retirement funds

Visiting The N.Y. World’s Fair 1964/65 With the Flintstones PTII

The New York World’s Fair in 1964/1965 attracted a boatload of luminaries, but none more incredible than Fred Flintstone. Traveling all the way from prehistoric Bedrock, Fred and Wilma, Barney and Betty couldn’t wait to see that showcase of mid-20th-century

Visiting the New York World’s Fair With the Flintstones

Sixty years ago today The New York Worlds Fair  1964/1965 opened. If the New York Worlds Fair of 1939/1940 was like stepping into the land of Oz, the 1964/ 1965 Worlds Fair was like striding into the future of the

Gettysburg Revisited

  Like the South’s Lost Cause, so is Donald Trump’s attempt at history. Civil war buff, his assessment of Gettysburg is one for the books. Just not American History books. Even as an 8-year-old who, unlike Trump’s claims,  really did

Using My Voice

I’m a 69-year-old storyteller by profession but for decades couldn’t tell my own. More than just tongue-tied, my uncomfortable relationship with words often led me to consider myself not only shy, but inarticulate when speaking. I spent a childhood with

The Travesty of Trump Tower and Bonwit Teller

Trump Tower lives to see another day. For now, the tacky gold emblazoned skyscraper remains untouched by the New York courts, much like Trump himself. Seeing both knocked down would be pure justice. Long before I hated Donald Trump, I

OJ Simpson Dead at 76

O.J. Simpson’s time has finally run out. I guess O.J. will never find the killers who murdered his former wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. Maybe they are already in Hell, where Simpson is headed after

It May Be 1864 in Arizona But Roevember is Coming

In 2024 right-wing Christian Nationalists are burning through women’s rights with the same fury and zeal as General Sherman did in 1864 when he destroyed and burned down everything in his path in his race to the sea. And now
