On Saturday my sister Kathy (pictured in photo 4) attended the Rally to Save the American Dream at the statehouse in Boston, Massachusetts, joining the ranks of citizens around the country who are standing with Wisconsin and other states where Republican governors are continuing to give tax breaks to corporations and the very rich—while cutting […]
Something stinks in Denmark and on my desk. Stink bugs. Like skunks, they make you want to stay clear. They seem to have learned how to fly and they multiply. They aren’t cute like the ladybugs we were infested with last year. I’ve been all together too nice to them and I think they’re taking […]

More Wordless on Wednesday HERE.
