A Pack Rat Pushes Back At Trump
Yet one more reason to despise Donald Trump. He is giving pack rats like me a bad name. The former hoarder-in-chief’s attachment to paper is a very familiar one to me. Trump can’t seem to part with his and neither

Make America Just Again

RIP RFK The Day Hope Died
Robert F. Kennedy represented hope. But on June 6, 1968, a nation was left once more to watch and grieve and wonder after another senseless act of violence robbed us of that hope. The GE alarm clock in my bedroom

Honoring Our Fallen Soldiers
