Jealous Again Should artists have the freedom to express their political or social views even when they are controversial or disturbing to members of the community that supports them? This issue came to the forefront recently when rock band the Black Crows set off a firestorm during a Tampa concert. At the center of this […]
CBS….Complete Bull Shit Did you know that 60 Minutes has been on the air for 58 years? That’s right– 60 Minutes premiered in 1968 and has become the longest-running news magazine in television history. I haven’t even been alive for 58 years and, as my students remind me on a regular basis, I am old […]
Party Like It’s 1776 At the risk of being labeled a Debbie Downer, I am going to start this week’s TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less with what some will find to be a controversial perspective that soft-pedals the upcoming celebration of America’s 250th birthday. Oh, I know all of you want to scream at […]
Trump Fatigue If you read my disclaimer, I promised to stay away from politics for a week. And I did- sort of. But now all bets are off (pun intended), and we have to face the literal elephant in the room. The problem is, though, where to begin. It’s all so mind-numbingly infuriating and dangerous. […]

Don’t worry — I’ll still be far too dogmatic and opinionated to refrain […]
Something Old and Something New If there’s one thing I love about being a teacher, besides the obvious fame and wealth that go hand in hand with the profession, there is the prolonged opportunity for exploration and adventure. While summers “off” involve a whole lot more planning and curriculum development than outsiders may acknowledge, I […]
A Step in the Right Direction Y’all knew I was going to have to chime in on Joe Biden’s decision to step down as the Democratic candidate for the 2024 Presidential election, right? I have, after all, been calling on him to do so since I first wrote on this subject back in 2022. I […]
Not a Fan of Only Fans This week’s column was inspired by a friend who sent me an article about a young woman in Australia who has turned her OnlyFans account into a lucrative, money-grabbing opportunity. 26 year-old Annie Knight used to make around $60k a year as a marketing agent as she scrimped and […]
E-Bikes: Promoting Health or Encouraging Laziness? Most of my friends probably cannot believe that I have not written on this subject sooner. They have heard me rave, time after laborious time, about how obnoxious e-bikes are out on the rec paths of Summit County, Colorado where we live. They have heard me fume about the […]
