Last month, we flew to Denver for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar. The subject was Churchill, and how his life and accomplishments are relevant to us today.

Connections…Sport fans riot; Mob rule; and Liberalism
I was reading this weekend the story of what happened in Lexington, Kentucky, when the University of Kentucky basketball team, undefeated during the regular season, lost their Final Four match to Wisconsin.

Why this Apple Fangirl will not be buying an Apple Watch
I LOVE Apple products. I am writing this on my iMac, listening to Rush on my iPod Touch. When I travel, I take my iPad on the road to read email and post on RushBabe49 and Ricochet. Hubby has a MacBook as his home computer, so we are an all-Apple family. But I will never …

What Happened to the Black People in Jazz?
Last evening, my husband and I went to a concert given by the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, and as usual we were treated to a wonderful evening of exciting jazz big-band music. The group has been around for 20 years, playing the music of all the great names in jazz. Here is a picture of …
