My Ramblings
It starts with just one kind person. . .
Watching this gave me chills. What an inspiring educator and place. I've been to Las Vegas a number of times, including visiting a school where a friend of my mom's was the Principal, and this is a city that definitely reflects the current economic...
Nine Eleven Two Thousand and One
Today is the 10th Anniversary of the attacks that took place on September, 11, 2001 in New York and Washington D.C. I could spend this post talking at length about where I was that day (in my junior year at Marquette - in my a third story walk-up apartment after...
Sometimes we all need a reminder like this. . .
I'd be lying if I didn't say that this is oddly perfect. Thank you, Rory, for sharing it.
