6 days have passed since a divisive far-right activist and speaker died from a gunshot wound. Since that day it would seem there are those who consider him a martyr whose life was taken for speaking the truth. I, for one, would rather honor someone whose actions and words supported freedom for all.

My youngest just learned to tie his own shoes, one day before his 6th birthday.

I'm shedding 'friends' on the Met@ platform. Either that, or they've joined the migration here.

These kiddos of mine are the reason I won't keep silent about the 💩🐂 going on not only in Washington but in the hearts and minds of those who support it. "Be careful when you follow the masses; sometimes the 'm' is silent."

My fellow Americans, House Speaker Mike Hunt. Nothing to see here while the Constitution itself is being hijacked.

On December 23 2017, my then 4-month old aired his grievances - I happened to capture it on video ...

In our house, we recognize December 23 as Festivus, complete with the airing of grievances.

Happy Festivus! This video, from 7 years ago, features my oldest, then 4 months old, airing his grievances.

One of my favorite photos. I'm not a professional photographer, but took this picture rather by mistake. I couldn't get my phone's camera to focus. I'd like to think it's because there was so much beauty that the camera was trying to capture it all. 11 September 2014, Brigantine Beach, New Jersey
