Anyone who has followed my blog (both of you) may have noticed that I’ve not posted anything since–gasp!– July!

<ON MY SOAPBOX> When did we forget The Golden Rule? (to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, in case you are one who has forgotten). It’s a code of moral behavior that predates Christ (and Christianity for that matter). Through my extensive research (glancing at the above linked Wikipedia [...] Not too long ago I wrote a section in my memoir–actually it is currently at the end–about volunteering at the Children’s Grief Center. It feels like the end in a way, like this is the place I ended up on my emotional journey of Reconstructing My Mother.

It was a community blog run by my dear friend Joe Crawford (one of the smartest guys I know). I blogged off and on for almost 2 years. The ads he had running on the site pretty much paid for hosting– his hope was [...] Great post over at Critical Mas, tallying up all his blog posts over the last few years.
