It was a great experience.
I was informed of the anniversary [...]

Who would’ve thought it…? I recall as a kid catching a glimpse of it on TV and wondering how all those [...]

I see where the children’s show Sesame Street celebrated their 40th birthday yesterday; Happy Birthday to them.

Composing this blog entry was not easy. I wavered back and forth all morning whether I should take the time to write about a sensitive, private, but disturbing issue…Screw it, I decided to go forward with it!
