I’m a little miffed. The mayor of Sterling Heights ran for reelection uncontested, which means that even with a single vote, he wins. I don’t care for him and believe it’s time for change. At the polling station I was informed that “no valid write-in candidates exist” and that...
For a while now I’ve read rants, seen graphics on Facebook, and shared personal conversations with people complaining about the use of the hash symbol (#) on the internet. To be honest, I think some of the complaints are well warranted- the use of it, like everything else in...
I’ve been asked before why I, being of Italian descent, don’t celebrate Columbus Day. The answer to why the very idea of this day disgusts me is very simple and explained perfectly in the masterful words of Kurt Vonnegut: “As children we were taught to memorize this year ...
“If all it takes is growing a little facial fuzz in a fun and interactive way for a month to help raise awareness for such an important issue, then why isn’t everyone doing it? What’s your excuse? Cancer knows no boundaries- not sex, not race, not age, not social...

The criminals toppled over headstones and threw the famous...
Sometimes it’s the weirdest things that stick in my mind over the course of the day. I have to wonder if I just think too much, but I am who I am- what I am- and you all love me for it. Throughout the day I’ve heard many people...
Ambrose Bierce pondered one day, “Logic: The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding.” “Ah,” said Lewis Carroll, “Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it...
Today, Racheal and I passed by an antique dealer in a small farming community and decided to stop in. I’m glad we did, because we found a copy of Rudyard Kipling’s “The Phantom ‘Rickshaw and other Eerie Tales”, a collection of short stories published in 1888. It was sitting...
Over Memorial Day weekend I visited Chicago for the first time and had a lot of fun. My girlfriend and I stayed with a friend and cataloged some of our adventures. Witness Chicago as seen through the eyes of a Wolf.
