Just for fun on a Friday
Friday, June 12, 2009
I thought I’d pass along some articles and blog posts I found interesting and/or entertaining this week.
A few more words on 'A journey and a homecoming'Sunday, May 17, 2009
My story today – “A journey and a homecoming” – was a bit off the beaten path for me.
A Columbine story that still stands outMonday, April 27, 2009
A week ago marked 10 years since the April 20, 1999 shootings at Columbine High School, and the anniversary hasn't gone unmarked.
Non-dissonant Easter storiesFriday, April 10, 2009
I’ve spent a lot of this week writing Easter stories.
In defense of FacebookFriday, Feb. 20, 2009
Facebook has come under fire lately, in part due to the millions of users who have followed a chain-mail-like trend of posting notes containing 25 random facts about themselves.
Reason to laugh if your Valentine's gift is less than grandFriday, Feb. 13, 2009

Thomas Beatie, who is perhaps better known as “the pregnant man,” appeared on Larry King Live on Monday with his wife, Nancy, to promote his book, “Labor of Love: The Story of One Man’s Extraordinary Pregnancy.” Beatie gave birth to the couple’s daughter, Susan, in July and is now expecting again.
