Weekend Preview: Oceans of Fun Opens
Memorial Day weekend: the official beginning of the summer season, though not the beginning of summer itself.

Of Wealth and Fairness
I've been contemplating the greatness of the wealth we live in, along with the complaints of poverty. I've also been contemplating the complaints about fairness. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. The rich don't pay their fair share. Yet, when I look at the wealth around me, all I see is the … Continue reading Of Wealth and Fairness
Summer Plans change
Today's post is late and short. Seems the class I'd planned on taking this summer -- Digital Storytelling -- is being canceled. No idea if it was because of low attendance, or because of a change in the teacher's schedule. I was really excited about this class, the one elective choice that really gave me … Continue reading Summer Plans change
