Cold Feet: I’m Getting Married And…

I’m getting married in 3 days and I’m having some reservations. Not about my betrothed (she’s fabulous!) but rather about what’s going to happen when we come home after saying, “I do”. We live in Arizona, one of the special states that have both a state statute and a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between

Elizabeth Warren Calls Out the “Anarchists” in Congress

…so about that government shutdown… Progressive hero and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren gave an epic speech on the Senate floor a few days ago in which she called out the far-right in the House for its extremism.

The Word by Sheila

More and more, I find myself mulling over the question posed by Rodney King in the wake of his horrific beating at the hands of the L.A.P.D. and the ensuing riots: “Can’t we all get along?” Evidently, we can’t.

Medical Matters – Hospitals… Meds… Oh My!

With all of the hospitals consolidating and competing for patients these days, as well as drug firms trying to sell this or that new remedy for a condition we might not even know we had or have, there are a lot of health-related ads out there asking for our attention. Some are in print, some

Pecs and the City

I used to think I was interesting. Always quick with a joke, a humorous anecdote or a hilarious story about some bizarre situation that I found myself in. I used to think my unnatural retention of trivia and encyclopedic knowledge of a myriad of subjects was enough to add flavor to any conversation. I realize
