Hello, dear reader. I have been thinking about starting a blog for a while. I often write long Facebook posts which I am sure only a small subset of friends actually read. I also have a lot to say about a lot of things, and I like to write. Seems like a no-brainer to spare my Facebook friends and put those thoughts here. The SCOTUS decision that was released, officially, yesterday (Friday 6/24) was the catalyst to actually take the leap. I will do my best to include factual information along with my interpretation, and to provide resources for additional listening or reading. You may also get some personal stories which illustrate why I have the perspectives and opinions I am sharing here. I hope you find something you find interesting or helpful or thought-provoking. I hope that, if you don’t think you have a worldview similar to mine, that you will take a moment to read with an open mind. It is okay to formulate new opinions based on new information or experiences. It is good to grow.
