It does not matter whether you hate George W. Bush or you hate Michael Moore. It does not matter whether you think the Iraq war was a good idea or a bad idea. It does not even matter if you are a Calvinist or an Arminian. Today was a historic day. The purple finger held... Read More

Every day bad things happen. I am no fool to think that we live in a utopia or that life is always sunshine. Working with teenagers gives me a certain clarity that is often lost on pretentious adults who love to hide reality in a flurry of smoke and mirrors. Teenagers are not sophisticated enough...

Well, the white stuff is here. It fell for about six hours, wet and heavy and made Langhorne a soft, frigid mess. We were at Wal*Mart when it started, looking for winter wear; the only thing we got was snow on our heads and a box of Girl Scout cookies. The cookies were nearly frozen,... Read More

I was shuffling through my virtual photo box and came across photos of a warmer time, when my car started easily and my fingers did not freeze to the windshield wipers. When the ground was moist and dark and unbearded by hoarfrost and the wind was merely cool, the girl and I adventured in the... Read More
