What are observations?

Opinions. Everybody’s got them.

As a former journalist, my life has involved observing what’s going on around me and trying to put it in context for readers.

You can take the woman out of the newsroom, but not the newsroom out of… oh, well, you get it.

So from time to time, I will venture into cultural, social, and political observations. I am a Democrat. I am not a socialist unless you consider caring about people and believing that people need help to reach their potential, and sometimes everyone needs a hand up (have you ever been on unemployment? I have.), is socialist. I believe in social responsibility.

You’ll note that comments are turned off here. Sorry, if you want a place to vent please go to Twitter. Possibly you’ll find some posts that are of interest and you agree with. We’d appreciate a share.

That said, hang tight. The bumpy ride we’ve been on may only have just begun.
