It’s Monday morning. Perhaps the Point of View is one of your Monday morning routines: you allow me to have this conversation with you before you head out the door and engage your week. What challenges are waiting for you as you hang your virtual “Open for Business” invitation for trouble? There’s no lack of […]

Roses are red, Bengals are blue, Rams were amazing, nothing Cincy could do! The obligatory nature of a holiday right after the Super Bowl may be catching you off guard. Today is the celebration of a 3rd Century priest who believed in love.

All but one justice appeared in the now-common new fashion, masked while hearing and considering the positions.

True confession: I spent last week – between Christmas and New Years – at an “undisclosed location,” with the Shank Clan (12 of us, as I count heads in the Christmas Card picture). I didn’t do much “work,” but what I did with them will have lasting effects in my life column marked “legacy.” Okay,
