Things will happen, but life goes on
Those of us who grew up watching Saturday Night Live like to quote Gilda Radner’s crazy-haired character Roseanne Roseannadanna, who said, ‘It’s always something.” It is. Always. Something. My husband and I were meeting our younger son and his girlfriend for dinner to celebrate her college graduation and her new job.

Saying those three little words on Mother’s Day
When I write a column about Mother’s Day, it reminds me of what editor Ben Bradlee said in the movie All the President’s Men about the Washington Post’s Watergate investigation. “We’re under a lot of pressure, you know, and you put us there. Nothing’s riding on this except the First Amendment to the Constitution, freedom of the press, and maybe the future of the country.” Maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but not much.
