Quick rant
Quick rant before heading back to work. I’ll deduce that by now you are familiar with the allegations against comedian and actor Bill Cosby. I use the word appropriately, accusations.

Heartbreaking
My heart breaks this morning for the victims of the senseless terrorist murders in Paris today. 12 lives (10 reporters and 2 policemen) gunned down by extremists calling “Alluh Ahkbar” (sp?).

Better days
Yup, life can turn in an instant. If can go from good to bad in a flash, or from bad to good in the same amount of time. Why? Well, I recently posted that I wasn’t having a good day. Frankly, yesterday I was on pins and needles all day. But thanks to a great Read More…
