Properly Grateful…Joy of Giving
I like to think that I count my blessings every day, not just on Thanksgiving Day. This year, I've had numerous occasions to reflect on the manifest blessings in my life, and my country. I was fortunate to be born in the United States of America, which has, since its founding in the 18th Century, …
Photo Essay: University of Cambridge, Summer 1991
I admit it. I am a total Anglophile. I'm a sucker for a British accent, and since a trip around Britain in 1984, I fell in love with the city of Cambridge. In the summer of 1991, I was fortunate enough to attend a three-week program put on by UCLA in Cambridge. Attendees could take …

Weekly Photo Challenge: Ornate
This is the sanctuary at St. Joseph's Polish Catholic Church in Camden, New Jersey, during their 120th Anniversary celebration in 2012. The priest is Polish, and there is a Polish-language Mass daily. My husband grew up not far from here, and went to this church, and graduated from the parochial high school here (now defunct). …

Going Hillsdale and AEI-No Social Security or Medicare for Me
I guess that makes me a risk-taker. I am currently 66 years old, my full SS retirement age, which makes me Social Security and Medicare-eligible. A couple of years ago, I made the decision to reject both SS and Medicare. I am gainfully employed, and expect to be employed for the foreseeable future. I am …

Update to Coining a new Phrase- “Going Hillsdale” AND “Going AEI”
You are probably aware that I am a big supporter of Hillsdale College in Michigan. And that one of their main claims to fame is that they do not accept one red cent of government money; that enables them to teach the liberal arts exactly the way those arts should be taught. Hillsdale's refusal …

Weekly Photo Challenge…Symbol
This is the most powerful Symbol of my People, The Jews. This is the Western (or Wailing) Wall, in Jerusalem, the last remnant of the Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans in the year 70CE. When I was there, in 2007, this took me, and shook me to my core. A constant reminder of the …
Celebrate Independence Day
The Declaration of Independence, along with the US Constitution, is arguably the free world's finest attestation to the values that underpin the world's most influential Republic.
