In my news feed this morning, I read story after story of how one person or another was walking back their latest comment. I say something, you say something and we all walk it back. Does this sit well with the masses? Its like we are left with […]
I still remember vividly where I was and what time it was when I saw what was occurring in my beloved hometown of New York City. To me it is unbelievable that it has been fifteen years since that day of September 11. As life would have it, […]
