The Importance of Kindness
Tonight, on our way to bowling, we stopped at Wendy's for food. This is not about bowling, or Wendy's or the evils of fast food. It's about homelessness, and more specifically, about homeless veterans.

My Visit With Sean
This is not truly a new post, but it is a post about a visit I made to one of the state prisons in North Carolina for a visit to my son, Sean, who is incarcerated there for some pretty hideous crimes. Sean is a sociopath, completely without a conscience.… Read full post »
