Justice isn’t a cold glass of water served in a pretty glass to the thirsty masses. Justice is the reluctant acceptance of an imperfect process that represents the best and worst of our legal system. As Casey Anthony spends a few more days in jail serving out the terms of her entirely too-brief sentence, the [...]

The older I get, the more persnickety I become over words and their usage. Most days, I make a poor excuse for an English Major in that my spelling and punctuation, even with spell check and grammar check are inconsistent. I drives TS crazy and he begs me to let him edit my work before it [...]

The dogs, two honey colored Labrador Retrievers eye me with practiced skepticism. They know I don’t know what I’m doing and that their role in the family which has steadily decreased in importance since the birth of one then another and still a third child is, for the next 48 hours, pivotal. They swagger about [...]

I quit my job. Without having another job. During a recession. And I have you, my faithful blog and column readers to blame. You’re the ones who for months, ne years have told me that I really should be a writer. So just like that *snap*, I’m a writer. My mother feigns support but I [...]

I’ve known several friends of the years who have been arrested for Driving Under the Influence or Driving While Intoxicated as it’s still known in Kansas City. I have been quick to condemn them for their poor choices and the selfish [...]

Rather than annoy me, I find comfort in the predictability of air travel; each flight I take is essentially the same. There are very few privileges extended to frequent travelers any more. One of them is that you board the plane first. People requiring special assistance (and no, your quad-D boobs don’t require special assistance) [...]

The last flight I took was the one that brought me back to DC from California through Phoenix just after the New Year. You may recall that I had the misfortune of being seated next to a man so vile that just moments before they shut the cabin door, I called the flight attendant to [...]

Government contractors are a weird lot. For those of you living outside the beltway, Government contractors include companies SAIC, Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, CACI, SRA, EDS, Perot Systems, General Dynamics Boeing and the nefarious Halliburton. They are infinitely large in resources, hire to fill obscurely named position, Tier III Operations and Supply Chain and are [...]
