  • The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

    November 11, 2009

    • I've been thinking about revolution quite a bit lately. I'm reading a fascinating book entitled Enemies of the People: My Family's Journey to America, by Hungarian author Kati Marton.  Marton's parents were Hungarian citizens working for the Associated Press during the Stalinist and Communist revolutions; both were arrested and jailed when Marton was little girl.  This book details the ...

    November 4, 2009

    • When I saw this week's blog prompt, my immediate thought was "How do I pick just one favorite bookstore?" -- because there are so many that I have enjoyed over the years. From the used bookshops with their slightly musty smells to the big chains, there is always something magical about strolling through the shelves and looking for treasure. Some of my favorites are no more due to ...

  • "Who will march along in the Halloween parade?"

    October 28, 2009

    • Halloween was one of my favorite holidays as a child.  Not so much because of the candy (although that was certainly nice), but because it was the world's greatest opportunity to play dress-up.  The best part of the whole thing was picking out a costume so that I could pretend to be someone else -- anyone from a fairy princess to Snoopy.  I loved going to the store to pick out the nylon ...

    October 22, 2009

    • I didn't have to think very long about my response to this week's blog subject. Hands-down, of all the places I have visited, London is my favorite city. (There is a lengthy list of "Places Sharon Wants to Visit," but that's a story for another time.) My first visit to London was the culmination of a lifelong dream. My then-fiance had called off our engagement, and I had money I had ...

  • Perhaps not "The Fountainhead" ...

    "I don't see where The Fountainhead ENDORSES selfishness anywhere...but simply acknowledges that that has been the primary incentive for innovation. We live in a fallen world.

    I was "excommunicated" (to use the Randian objectivist term) by the many who was my best friend because I refused to "reform my thinking" about the need for health care reform in this country.

    As with so many things, it's time and money.  I was scheduled to go there on business, and then Hurricane Katrina hit ...

  • Petroglyph Hike

    Hi, Keith. I'm quite familiar with that petroglyph walk, as I took it myself when I visited in 2006. What a beautiful location, and so interesting.

  • Thank you for your article
