While working today I was listening to a song. It’s a song that at one time I listened to very often back when I first got out of high school. I would be driving back and forth each day to Indianapolis for work and during long car rides I got to listen to lots of music. Many mornings and evenings were spent with the stereo blaring my favorite artists from Eric Johnson to Meshuggah and you can bet that everything in-between was just as...

I’m not a huge fan of Michael Jackson these days but yesterday I found myself counting down the minutes until the verdict was announced. I found myself hoping that he wouldn’t be found guilty and I found myself excited when he was in fact found not guilty of all counts.

I was doing my daily news browsing online today and I saw a story on the Palladium Item website that really made me mad. It’s the story of a small, privately owned grocery store in a small town in Indiana that’s closing down partly because Wal-Mart is moving in 4 miles down the road. At one time I liked Wal-Mart. Not because I thought they were a good store or anything, but because I liked that they had lower prices than most...
