Last Christmas, my niece gave me a subscription to StoryWorth. Each week she asks me a question to which I respond in order to memorialize my thoughts and feelings over the past 70 years. A recent question was, “How has life changed since you were a child?” Well, that opened the floodgates and I’m sure […]

I recently wrote an article entitled “Delay Execution, But Not Abortion” and posted it on Twitter. Here’s an “exchange of ideas” which took place on Twitter just this past week. Unlike me and Jeff who use our real names, the “someone who obviously doesn’t agree with me” doesn’t give his or her name on Twitter. […]
