While reading the Facebook roll for Occupy Bakersfield, I came across another group: Occupy Kern River Valley or Occupy KRV. Yippee! They're going to Occupy my hick little valley! I won't have to drive to Bakersfield or Los Angeles! After running some errands, I set...

Using my little smarty pants phone, I found Occupy Seattle. Being technically advanced, the Seattleites made their website quite clear. They, too, were marching. In fact, they were taking a bridge, too, but at the convenient time of 3PM. Again, not knowing the...

For 58 years, I've stood on a stage and engaged in my favorite things, dancing and singing. Now, the dancing is minimal and the singing is from habit and the opportunity to derive income for everyday expenses.
Ahhh, the Art of Making Money by artists whose work is multi-decade in nature. Being...

If you're the mother of a daughter anywhere from age 7 to 15, chances are you've heard of Justin Bieber. The sweet-faced popstar graces everything from radio stations to teen mags to Twitter, and I heard he guest starred on CSI. Don't tell my daughter.

For several decades now, a random, errant thought occasionally passed through my constantly curious, often cacophonous cranium. Now, thanks to Peter Cooper’s superb cover obit (The Tennessean 8/4/2010), this periodic puzzler has at long last been solved. My pondering always came in the shape of...
