It is my very great pleasure indeed to announce that my friend and colleague Charles F. Pelkey, J.D., has passed his bar exam — and on the very first try, too. Next week he will be a member of the bar instead of merely a patron of one, and getting sworn in instead of sworn [...]
It really must be spring. In the past couple days I’ve seen a cottontail, a snake, a red fox the size of a coyote jogging up the sidewalk across the street and a muddy rain that required me to deploy the windshield wipers before I went grocery shopping yesterday morning. Oh, yeah, and enough yellow [...]
Plenty of battiness in the GOP belfry lately. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) wants to deport American citizens, as in the U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) wonders whether the district represented by Rep. Raul Grijalva has been ceded to Mexico. Another Iowan, GOP congressional candidate Pat Bertroche, wants to implant microchips in [...]

The recipe, from Martha Rose Shulman, was OK but not stellar — especially considering that the post-dinner wash-up involved a couple of saucepans, a [...]

Arizona seems to be trying to out-dingbat Colorado with the likes of John McCain, Joe Arpaio and now Gov. Jan Brewer, who just signed into law a despicable immigration bill (pun intended) that will accomplish little beyond empowering racists, harassing Hispanics and enriching attorneys.
“We must enforce the law evenly, and without regard to skin color, [...]
A bit late, to be sure, but we’re getting them. The lawn likes the weather, as do the flowers, but I’d just as soon have sunny and 70, thanks all the same. Getting your vitamin D from the pharmacy just isn’t the same somehow.
I need to log some serious miles between now and May, too. [...]
