Satancon!
I have heard a lot in the news lately about the upcoming Satanist Convention in Boston Mass April 28-30, 2023. It is a sold-out event! I guess the fact that it is sold out must be related to the fact that seemingly every news station keeps reporting regarding the reduction
What Actions can we Take to Prevent our Country from Becoming an Autocracy?
Democracy cannot protect itself. It needs constant attention and effort from all of us to keep it functioning well so it can continue to be a shield of justice for its citizens from the dangerous and selfish forces that are always working to destroy it.
Hooray, I am a Failure, Part 4

There is a Woman in Somalia…
I was listening to one of my favorite musical artists Sade, the other day. She was singing her song, Pearls. Due to recent event in the news, it really hammered me. It really reminded me as I sat in a Panera Bread restaurant, drinking my coffee, how lucky I have
JAWS
For me, the best Bond villian is and always will be Jaws–played by Richard Kiel (1939–2014). He was tall and scary as everything but he was also funny, he found love, and he had a good ending. I was so hoping to see him in ANOTHER Bond movie, like Bond
Wrestling with G-d Part 2:
נרשם כי נאבקתי בך ואני ניצחתי It is recorded that I wrestled with the you and I prevailed You changed my name I limped away I won הצטרפתי מחדש למשפחות שלי, לצאן שלי, לכל מה שבירכתם אותי בו ועזבנו I rejoined my families, my flocks, everything that you have blessed
