Last night was the global night commute. It was great here in Cincinnati; we had between three and four hundred people turn out to sleep down at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center (for you Canucks, that’s a museum celebrating freedom for people around the world; Cincy, being on the border of the North and […]

Subtitled, “Some Necessary Cliff-notes for the Uninitiate, or Why I Hate Wedding Showers.”
I thought I should post this before I began posting about my summer of weddings. Just in case.

I have done this each year since my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer about three years ago (she is now cancer free, eighteen months and counting! Although they will not declare it officially cured for another […]

I find this article very interesting– and not a little bit funny! With the increase of technology in the Middle East, Israel is not the only country with powerful and extremely conservative religious sects to have a few issues.
