Jeff and Suzie
Less than 24 hours after getting in from his last run, hubby is back out on the road. Tired and exhausted after a long week, I hated that he was unable to spend more than a night at home. On the bright side, a 3 day weekend coming up and we’re planning a [...]

More and more of you are changing your pages to a permanent protected status, which confounds me. There are so many of you I would not have had the pleasure of reading and getting to know if either of our postings had been protected. So many friends lost!
One of my greatest pleasures on Xanga is the [...]

When the Duke LaCrosse boys were first accused then publicly vilified, I was outraged at the injustice. When they were finally cleared, I was still angry over the treatment they had received not only from our legal system and the news, but from the various Women’s groups on and off the Duke campus.
