The Lessons We Can Learn from Frankenstein Before I begin this week’s column, now is probably the time to inform my loyal readers that I will be putting an indefinite pause on the weekly publication of TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less. Don’t worry — I’ll still be far too dogmatic and opinionated to refrain […]
Something Old and Something New If there’s one thing I love about being a teacher, besides the obvious fame and wealth that go hand in hand with the profession, there is the prolonged opportunity for exploration and adventure. While summers “off” involve a whole lot more planning and curriculum development than outsiders may acknowledge, I […]
A Step in the Right Direction Y’all knew I was going to have to chime in on Joe Biden’s decision to step down as the Democratic candidate for the 2024 Presidential election, right? I have, after all, been calling on him to do so since I first wrote on this subject back in 2022. I […]

I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead I don’t usually take significant life advice from a Bon Jovi concert shirt, but back in the mid 1990’s, when I was travelling across Europe with my girlfriend at the time, I came across someone wearing a shirt promoting the band’s 1992 “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” Tour.

A Felon in the White House? I love irony—usually. In most circumstances, we can sit back as casual observers, as irony provides someone we know with much-needed insight while utilizing a flair for the humorous that makes the recognition strike home with an indelible force. But other times, we are the victims of irony, as […]
I Love a Happy Ending I love a happy ending. Ok there, pervs, get your mind out of the gutter. I mean that I love a story that ends with an inspirational outcome. Perhaps it’s just the eternal optimist in me, but I relish the gratifying glow of a story arc that concludes with positive […]
