In my January 28th entry (which I shortly thereafter made a friends-only entry), I posted about a young woman who committed suicide in prison, and as it turned out, whose parents I knew from work, and whose father’s office is just down the hall from mine in my current position. Well, in today’s N&O Lifestyles … Read more
I really like how this is done, purely from a creative perspective. I listened to several more chapters of In Cold Blood during my one-hour workout. General Hospital was on one of the television sets. I can’t believe that Bobbie and Luke are still on that show; surely (don’t call me Shirley!) it’s been about … Read more
