The cost of everything, from gas to groceries, remains stubbornly high. But nothing seems as outrageously expensive as trying to buy a new home. Home prices skyrocketed during the COVID pandemic, and inflation fears forced... More
On Monday, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, a momentary break from the bad news we've all be drowning in the past few months. I like Pat Byrnes cartoon in particular, noting how... More

I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art yesterday and was once again shocked to not see myself featured. It’s been two years since I sent the Met an email and they still haven’t responded.... More
Tyrades! by Danny Tyree “And when I die / and when I’m gone / there’ll be one child born, in this world / to carry on / to carry on.” The song written by Laura... More

Not too long ago, the name U.S. Steel was symbolic of America’s industrial might. It was the biggest, most important company in the world. Or maybe it just seemed like it was. Whatever it was... More
I’m such a square, my ears have corners. I drink eight cups of water a day. I make my bed every morning. Before going to the supermarket, I write a grocery list. But this scintillating... More
Tyrades! by Danny Tyree Yes, I was hunkered down paying rapt attention to the weather report on May 8 when an EF-3 tornado rampaged through a neighboring county. Understandably, I was intrigued by a May... More
Last week, right-wing commentator Ann Coulter told former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to his face she would not have voted for him because he’s Indian. “There is a core national identity that is the... More
