Here is a copy of my third post from January 3, 2015, followed by a brief update: I’ve enjoyed the 31 day Write and Run Challenge so far, particularly the writing aspect (although it’s only day 3!).

That post featured one of my favorite singer-songwriters, Tim Moore, a native of Philadelphia. He was, and is, relatively unknown, having had some minor success … Continue reading Music Monday: Almost Famous: Tim Moore, Singer-Songwriter Extraordinaire
My wife let me know about this outrageous behavior. A preschool teacher in Norco, California was caught on film leading a political chant in which the 4 and 5-year-old students were calling for President Joe Biden to leave office. The video lasts only about eight seconds. You can hear a teacher asking the students, "Who's … Continue reading Seriously? You’ve Got Nothing Better to Teach Your Students?!
