We help people buy houses. More importantly, we help people make homes. My son came home from college this weekend. While we were making pizzas and having a beer in the kitchen we talked about his classes and his student teaching. He said one of his new favorite authors is Maya Angelou. Ms. Angelou rose to notoriety during the Clinton administration and I took more notice when she began having conversations with Oprah. I can see why my son enjoys her writing as it is earthy and real, like Midwesterners, with whom he identifies mostly. She writes about matters of the heart. (1 comments)
