On the day of my baby boy’s birthday (last Sunday) we were eating pizzas. At one point my mother was telling me not to eat pepperoncinis that come with papa john’s pizzas because she thought it would give me gas.

Gabriel García Márquez
“One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel García Márquez was one of the novels that we had to read in our undergraduate “classical literature” class (13 years ago). We read this as a class and discussed it. At the beginning, all the Spanish names in the book were...
Sequestration Sickens Me
I thought working for our government is rewarding in itself. I am sorry to say that our legislatures love to belittle us every chance they get. We were deprived of any pay raise for the last two years when living and insurance costs went up. We already got 2% pay cut...
