This Just In — The other day, I was speculating … If the GOP nominee was demonstrating in public and in private that he is someone so mentally incompetent that he needs a conservator and could never be trusted to …for example … babysit his own grandchildren, what would that look like? Are we there yet?

This Just In – As our region begins the months-years long process of cleanup and recovery from a natural disaster, we are reminded of a basic principle of a civil society (and the insurance business):

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. She served as the central organizing host of a family reunion stretching across the entire week. We got to the finish line with no emergency […]

This Just In – Good things did happen this year and I’m going to spend this week and next offering a reminder of some that may have faded from short term memory.

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.
