I have lived in Everett, 20 miles north of Seattle, for eighteen years. Each passing year makes me happier that I moved out of Seattle. There are constantly stories in the local media demonstrating how the cost of living in Seattle has increased so much it is pricing residents out. People who live in Seattle …

Every year on the day after Christmas, the University Unitarian Church in Seattle puts on a full-length Handel's Messiah Sing-along/Play-along. They do the full Messiah, all the arias, all the choruses, and all the recitatives; not a note is left out. Everyone sings everything that is within his or her vocal range-no soloists. You may …

Last week, RB49 and Hubby flew to Denver for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar. I usually have an aisle seat on an airplane, but this time I had the window seat, and I saw some beautiful scenery below.

Each element of this picture tells a bit of my story. From the sign on the left of this shelf, you can see that this is above my desk at work. People who come over know at a glance that I am available to help them with their issue. To the right of that sign …
I found this picture this morning, of Democrat 2020 presidential hopefuls. Just look at these potential candidates. What impressed me about this picture is the expressions on the faces of all four. Every one of them comes across as a scold. Not one smiling face. The three on the right are obviously speaking angrily to …
