Today is the beginning of a new day in American history. We have elected our first African-American President. This is both a long and short road ended. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln just under 150 years ago while Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enacted in this lifetime. Even those who [...]

One of the things I liked about my collaborative blog with my brother Phil, was the way you could look at it and know what you were going to read about. I want to give that a test run here. Random Thoughts Tuesday is now Aye Wonder Tuesday (AWT) and if you see the icon [...]

I am wiped out after watching the Red Sox run out of magic last night. They gave it a good run but in the end the bottom of their batting order did them in.
