Back in September while visiting my Mom, there was a brief conversation about how times have changed – with respect to women. She observed that when she got married to my Dad that she adopted his name – and I do not just mean his surname, but his full name. When she filled out mail […] I was vaguely aware that 20 years ago I graduated from high school – and that there would be a reunion of some kind.

The evening was cool and crisp and after borrowing a sweatshirt, I felt like a local […] On the other side of the Potomac River from The Mall is Arlington National Cemetery, and it was my destination for the day. And now I don’t know where to begin because Arlington National Cemetery single handedly brings up a myriad of topics to consider, both personal and political.
