Music, theater, gardening, travel, current affairs, and my personal life, not always in that order. I try to keep it interesting, I rarely hold back, because one thing I truly believe in is the shared experience of this reality we call life. We're all in this together, people. More than we even know.

Katie Couric shows a double standard in our society
Katie Couric is frustrated with her job. (With her paycheck, I’ll take the frustration.) The final straw for her comes when an editor uses a perfectly acceptable English word when writing about TB—sputum. So what does she do? She gets angry, yells at the editor, and hits him repeatedly (on the arm.) And then it’s over. No hue and cry over physical abuse. No liberals screaming for her head over the injustice of a big-name using her power over an underling. Katie is so lucky she’s a woman. If she were a man and did what she did she’d be vilified. Abuse is abuse. Or is it?
