The war is winding down! What war? Which war? I conveniently forgot there is a war! The one allegedly ending is the one in Iraq, not Afghanistan, but tell that to the 47 Iraqi police recruits and their families &#8211; and the over 100 people injured &#8211; by today&#8217;s suicide bomber.

Back from vacation, during which the news I consume pretty much consists of a glance at headlines and staying abreast of what&#8217;s truly urgent &#8211; and simultaneously hoping there isn&#8217;t anything &#8211;  I&#8217;m overwhelmed by the every day &#8220;news&#8221; that I&#8217;ve successfully managed to avoid during my week&#8217;s escape.

I know I am fortunate to be able to leave where I am and escape from the every day, the familiar, to travel someplace different, to actually go away on vacation.

I&#8217;ve had my issues with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) over the years. In the last decades of the twentieth century the organization seemed absent a visionary agenda, out of touch, and mired in incompetent leadership. Most of the time, this organization that had once been pivotal in fighting for [...]]]></description>

A few days ago at a friend&#8217;s house I decided to sign onto Facebook using her computer. Even though I&#8217;d already established a username and password, the site informed me I&#8217;d have to answer 7 &#8220;security questions&#8221; to access my account. These questions consisted of photographs of groups of people, including at least 1 FB [...]]]></description>

In much of the country, the dog days of summer have arrived early. Here in New York, it was 80 degrees when I woke up at 5:56 this morning, and the temperature is projected to reach 100 today, maybe 102. To call it a heat wave is inaccurate.
