I just got off the phone with a morning show here in town. I called into the host to make sure he knew about this morning's Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage. Essentially the court said it would not rule on the constitutionality of same-sex marriage. The ruling doesn't nationalize [...]
I love this article from today's New York Times on how a first crush can impact a person's career choice. My first crush, at least as far as I remember, was on David Cassidy from "The Partridge Family." Like a lot of us, I had the dark blue patent leather [...]
