The importance of stories and delving into fantasy, fiction
Mar. 21, 2017I have become more aware of a family trait whenever I or my brother return home after a month or two of being away: We really enjoy reminiscing.

And it matters little whether the story has been told or retold, as long as it is told with enthusiasm and it entertains. There are times when we become so lost in this activity that we don’t leave the dinner table until an hour or two after we had finished eating.

There’s been plenty of debate — backlash, support, a satire column that was accidentally retweeted by White House Officials.

Mar. 20, 2017The ’90s are alive and well in 2017.
