My Summer Love Story
The Summer of 2020 is the summer I met Colton Ray. Although that year had so much negativity surrounding it, it was the best summer of my life. The 15-hour trip from Texas to St. Augustine, Florida didn't even seem that bad. It was something new and exciting and anything other than quarantine would have sufficed. So, as all five of my family members drove down to chase pipeline money for the next few months, we prepared for our endless summer.

The Ongoing Tale...
Back in the early 1960s, when my parents, grandmother and I would visit my grandfather’s grave every Sunday after Mass, I would be enthralled by the litany of surnames on the various headstones cloistered about Dada’s plot. Mount Hope Cemetery was, as was then the custom, divided into the Roman Catholic section and, then, everyone else.

What Americans Still Agree On
Months back, I vowed to stop writing about politics But that doesn’t mean I won’t write about democracy, or about what it means to be an American in these critical days. Especially having just passed the first anniversary of January 6, 2021 — a day that I believe ranks with 9/11 in terms of existential threat to the nation — the state of our Union is a topic that is with me, waking and sleeping. I find myself ricocheting, feeling hopeful and resolved one moment, frightened yet resigned the next. I know I’m not alone in this.

Sex and Love in the Modern World
Human beings are deeply connected to each other through the power of Sex and Love. Not only do we have a physical intimacy that is basically non-existent for most other living creatures, but through the promises and possibilities of sexual love we have created a natural bond that binds two individuals together into one family unit. But our culture has robbed us of this bond by forcing it to be hidden within bad marriages and troubled relationships with long-distance relationships and divorces. Sex and Love in the modern world is nothing if not complicated. Thus, it is necessary for individuals to adopt the right way of communication during times of challenge.
