Seattle has its heart in the right place. — It really does. Best intentions… but we all know where that path leads. Newsflash everyone – The mandatory minimum wage to $15 does not promote spending. It does not help uneducated single parents feed their children. It does not mean people get what they want –… Read more

I have a selective memory. Of that, I have no doubt. There are certain memories that stand out and will never be forgotten. There are some memories that change with age. But, when encountered with something that causes a lot of stress or a ‘life changing’ situation, I tend to gently bury it in the… Read more

I don’t look at the Columbus paper often. – I guess I became a bit spoiled in Florida. There, I read the Wall St. Journal, Bloomburg, the Economist and, every once in a while, the Tampa Tribune and the St. Pete Times. I can guarantee that there was never a front page headline about keeping… Read more

Some 15 years ago, when Jason worked at Sears and I at Knology, we were on a carousel. Our lives were fairly controlled. We had some time off together. The work was mostly steady. We knew what we had to do in our respected jobs day in and day out. Based upon scheduling, we actually… Read more

However, that’s not enough. The ability to buy items to provide the basic and essential needs for ourselves and others isn’t… Read more

This term I’m a co-teacher. Okay, this is no big deal. I’ve been a co-teacher before for this particular college. What it’s supposed to amount to is a third of the pay at half of the work. The theory is that, since this is a beginning class of new online learners, that two teachers is… Read more

Okay, so going to the grocery store isn’t a big deal for most people. If anything, given the way the online trend is going, grocery stores are a bit of a hassle. In a generation or so, we’ll simply have everything auto-shipped from Amazon. Or, possibly, everything will be pre-ordered and be delivered drive-thru window… Read more

Okay, you know how when we survive something traumatic. “I’ll never do that again. I’m going to put it behind me.” – I think that’s self-defense. The situation tested our boundaries or caused a potent emotional reaction that we don’t want to feel it, be reminded of it, or experience it ever, ever, ever, again.… Read more

You may or may not know I’m an adjunct. Yes, one of those poor overworked souls who was promised freedom, respect, societal glory, and a firm financial future. – The reality is, of course, far from the promised land. I really feel for my students who are under the impression life will be so –… Read more
