Make the World a Better Place “What is success? To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a […]
Unconditional Love is Not Unconditional Praise Several years back now, I had a student who proceeded to give one of the absolute worst video presentations in the long annals of horrendously bad student presentations.

The Red Herring of Immigration Two of the subjects I have always been loathe to write about in TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less are immigration and feminine hygiene products.

New Years Resolutions I’m Sure Not to Keep Ah, New Year’s, 2024. Nothing like the start of a new year to remind us of all the crappy things we have been doing to our bodies and souls for the past 364 days, only to spend at least a week or so thinking about how we […]
