So today being Halloween, I wore my Halloween outfit for the year. Earlier this month, some friends and I throw a fundraising party for our spiritual center with the theme of The Summer of 68 (technically, it was 67 but that didn’t rhyme with our marketing).

As a child growing up in Northern Virginia outside Washington DC, Labor Day was never about the end of summer for me. It was always about going back to school. My brothers and I always loved school, so while we were glad to have a break over the summer, by August we were looking forward … More Your Labor Day Survey: What Is Your Favorite Sandwich?
This week, President Joe Biden became the 9th among the 46 Presidents we have elected since the beginning of our nation to decide not to run for re-election. I don’t know all the reasons previous Presidents made that decision, but I do know about two: our Founding Father, George Washington, and the only one to … More A Perspective on Current Events from History…via Broadway
