Took this class before a trip to Italy. Very fun and was able to learn quickly with the way theRead More class was taught. Great instructor and wonderful insights. You will enjoy it if you ever wanted to learn Italian. Caio!

Hi Edward, I didn't hear any reports on the scanner or from sources of crashes, rescues or hardRead More landings.

The public deserves an objective, unemotional, factual public debate on this proposition. So far IRead More am still leaning toward a yes vote, but I am keeping an open mind at least through this month.

Thank goodness 'Jac' you are neither a Judge or member of Congress. The attempt at Ad Hominem isRead More appreciated however, true to your form. 'Grown-up' appears to be whoever agrees with you and not based in law or process.

Thanks for your comment, Frank. I'm certain you're not the only grownup reader of the blog - justRead More the only one so far. (At first, I thought some guys were putting me on; they have to be kidding.) You're right, of course, some Democrats voted against the E.R.A. for women. Shamefully, they and a majority of Republicans have defeated each attempt to pass the amendment so far. I still find it almost unbelievable that some of our neighbors think women do not deserve equal rights under the law. I thought that kind of thinking existed only in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and some backwoods places in Tennessee.

'Frank H. Robles', I emplore you from your inference, please quit treating women as 2nd classRead More citizens as your start, toward equal rights and improvement of your relationships to women. This act alone, renders bestowing inordinate Rights or extralegal treatment of women as a group - moot, and aligned with our(American) precepts - as it is wholly unneeded under our Constitution at this time - hopefully, for all time.

Stopped by Sunday to take a Look, very nice homes, good location, fair asking price, should sellRead More well...!!!

Well said, Nama. I was speechless to see how many people Uncle Ben had influenced during his life,Read More but it's no wonder. There may be one less Ben Taylor in our lives, but Heaven just got a whole lot more fun!

Thanks, Kyle for posting this. I'm not sure how things were in the past, but as a Patch editor, I'veRead More seen that blogging and engaging readers directly is a great way to market a book.
