Oh please, society, let us learn from the past, just a little bit?
“Francie thought it was the most beautiful church in Brooklyn. It was made of old gray stone and had twin spires [...]
I posted part of this a couple of years ago, but it’s the weekend and I think it bears posting again because when I think of all those exhausted teens being dragged from their beds because some adult thinks that because he’s up, everyone should be up, I get really angry on behalf of the [...]
Mamacita says: Heroes are all around us. We don’t know who they are until something happens and they leap into action. Ironically, the heroes don’t know they’re heroes until something happens, either.

Happy New Year to all of my Blogosphere friends.
