I couldn’t make this up if I tried…
Startling political news: Santa himself may be showing support for an unspecified third party candidate. I'm not joking. First of all, you know our country's hit hard economic times when Santa Claus himself has to take a part time job manning the Pizza Hut Express counter in the Strongsville Target store. When I asked him about it, Santa --… Continue reading I couldn’t make this up if I tried…
A rally cry
The following is a writing assignment posted for our master's action research class this morning and my response for said assignment.

Our time
I had an interesting experience this morning. I had to run to the post office to get some stamps so I could mail out my car insurance payment, and the line was unusually small for a Saturday. There was just me and a man in front of me, fidgeting quite a bit as he waited… Continue reading Our time
Revelations
