Holidays

Whenever Memorial Day comes around again, I am always reminded about how lucky I am that my father came home from the war.

The coronavirus, COVID-19, pandemic, or whatever you want to call this horrific plague, has taken Memorial Day away from us.

Although it's modestly budgeted and deliberately paced, Joey Travolta's quietly moving film manages to deliver the emotional goods.

It is the first day of 2020 and, in all honesty, there is not much we can say about this year right now, so there is a tendency to look back at 2019 and think about all that happened.

I had a dream the other night that reminded me of my Christmases past.

Teachers – from nursery school up through higher education – hold one of the most important jobs in our nation.

Every third Sunday in June we celebrate Father’s Day, and it is worth noting that men who get called “Dad,” “Papa,” “Pop” or whatever other way it can be said deserve their special day.

It seems to happen every year when Memorial Day comes around again – people do not understand why we celebrate this holiday.

I haven’t broken any new year’s resolutions yet – I can proudly say that two weeks into 2019, but there’s a catch: I didn’t make any this year.

December 31 – New Year's Eve – is celebrated by people all over the world as they wait for midnight and the start of a new year.
