This Just In – MTV gave a great deal to our society. Michael Jackson’s Thriller video was an instant classic -indispensable at this time of year. We came to know Prince and many other great artists through their videos.

As we are closing in on Election Day and what we hope are the final steps in closing the book on the 45 th president, we’re all feeling it. Lack of sleep, dwindling confidence and (according to my email) a desperate lack of funds for democrats all over the country. Surely bake sales are next and we’re all stress-eating so, bring on the chocolate cake!

This Just In – “A woman’s work is never done.” Remember that expression? It was meant, I suppose, to pay tribute to the fact that if you devote yourself to caring for your family, making your household work and generally being an invisible part of the economic system.

This Just In – It was never going to be easy. There is hard, serious work ahead.

This Just In – If Thanksgiving teaches us nothing else, it gives us the lesson of nostalgia’s value. For this (and so many things) I’m grateful.

This Just In — I hope your Thanksgiving feast was glorious. Of all that I’m thankful for, my daughter-in-law Jamie is probably at the top of the list this year.

I hope that your coming holiday season, however you celebrate, is everything you hope for. Maybe it’s a house full of noisy kids. Maybe it’s an array of special foods. Maybe it’s a quiet evening with some soft holiday music, some hot chocolate and a book.

This Just In – Jimmy Carter has given us a recipe for navigating the next four years… if we’re smart enough to follow it.

As we approach a dangerous era in America civil life - the second administration of a criminal president - Jean Bolduc turns to Shakespeare.
