Musings About Close-Minded Parenting of My Yorkie
I recently read an opinion column entitled “Free-range children vs. close-minded parenting” by Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press that made me question if I was a free-range or close-minded parent. It appears free-range parents believe their children should be able to walk home alone from a park and close-minded parents believe children should…

Musings About The American Dream in Crisis
After I quit watching NBC Nightly News when Brian Williams was suspended, I turned to PBS NewsHour with Judy Woodruff and Gwen Ifill for a nightly source of news (I have no plans of returning to NBC Nightly News after watching their great segments on a regular basis). Back in March I watched the segment…

Musings about Music and Sound & Color by Alabama Shakes
Over the years I have collected a large selection of music on CDs, but I have noticed over the last five years that while I will rush out and purchase the new CD of many of my favorite artists/bands (Van Morrison, U2, Eric Clapton, AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Buffett) the same cannot be said of…

Detroit Tigers and Washington Nationals Opening Week Highlights
One week into the 2015 Major League Baseball season and my dream World Series match-up between the Detroit Tigers and Washington Nationals looks great from the Detroit Tigers perspective and a little shaky for the Washington Nationals.

Musings about the 1980’s and Generation X
Generation X – “From everything we know about them, they’re savvy, skeptical and self-reliant; they’re not into preening or pampering, and they just might not give much of a hoot what others think of them or whether others think of them at all.” (pewresearch.org – Paul Taylor and George Gao) Once the 2015 NCAA March…

Gabby’s Final Thoughts on the 2015 NCAA March Madness Tournament
The 2015 NCAA March Madness Tournament came to an end last night when Duke became the 2015 National Champions by defeating Wisconsin 68-63. It was a great final game to an overall outstanding tournament, even though our teams (MSU, Notre Dame, and Wisconsin) did not win the championship. The game between Wisconsin and Duke was…
