Each new allegation of sexual harassment brings with it an increased sense of disbelief - not because I doubt the women who are sharing their experiences in such remarkable numbers, but because I can’t help but be curious how so many men could possibly have believed their actions are acceptable. I wonder “who raised them?,” … Continue reading Hands. Off.

Thankful for…
My children - even on the days when I can’t understand their actions or attitudes. A brother whom I never doubt, even when he just makes stuff up.

Drivers were patient and … Continue reading Never to be forgotten
