tribute: Akron Honors Those Who Gave Their Lives In The Line of Duty - 10/10/08 09:49 AM
We tend to take so many things for granted. They are there on a daily basis and we generally don't give them much though. However, the sad events of 9-11 brought so much "front and center" and reminded us that our "first responders" put themselves in harms way on a regular

tribute: Remembering the spirit of 9-11 - 09/10/08 02:33 PM
Tomorrow marks seven years since those vicious and cowardly attacks against our nation by those who seek to destroy us - and if they can't destroy us, then to kill as many of us as possible.

tribute: Graduation Rumination - 05/22/08 08:37 AM
My son is graduating from high school today. Now I know that may mean nothing to anyone, but it is a right of passage in most developed nations. It is that passage from the relative safety of home and family to a less structured life, whether starting out on your own or

This is a tribute to my mom:
Mom, you are not just my mother, you are my closest friend. I can talk to you about anything.

I can tell you how I really feel about things. You

tribute: Where Were You 6 Years Ago Today? - 09/11/07 10:24 AM
My routine rarely changes. Except for this morning. Around 5:30 a.m., I woke up with a splitting headache and so I wouldn’t be jogging. That was for sure. Instead I turned on the TV only to find Katie Couric and Matt Lauer talking about the World Trade Center on fire. That

Simple words, but nonetheless heartfelt. I just returned from the Eighteenth Annual Memorial Day Observance at El Toro Memorial Park in Lake Forest. This lovely old, county-owned cemetery is home to oak trees that are over 100 years old. It was a beautiful setting today with the temperature a mild 70o.

Another Memorial Day weekend is upon us. Three days off! And it's easy for me to think about this weekend that way. But it’s much, much more than just a holiday. Right? I’m talking to myself. For many years I didn’t really reflect upon the meaning of Memorial Day. Shame on
