Or maybe it was your brother or father or lover? Was someone you love murdered for their desire to dance and enjoy a Saturday night out? Not this time? Lucky you. But how about all of those families who will never again see or touch someone who just may have meant the world to them? … Continue reading Was it your child this time?

Politics and punishment – Hillary Clinton and Brock Turner
It’s been a pretty sobering week for me – and I own a wine bar. Watching Hillary Clinton march forward to claim the Democratic nomination has been difficult. Sorry, but I don’t like the idea of her being president. I don’t doubt her intelligence or experience, but her priorities will never be mine and I … Continue reading Politics and punishment – Hillary Clinton and Brock Turner

On the mornings he isn’t at my house, I miss starting the day with a hug from him, but I … Continue reading 3 things 3 years later
