A Letter to the President
I've never taken politics seriously. I mean, I take seriously the fact that there are men and women in positions of power throughout our country who make decisions that keep our government running. Sort of. The part I've never really taken seriously is the part where we, as citizens of the United States, are encouraged … Continue reading A Letter to the President

The conversation … Continue reading Registering

When I was a kid, I thought that a guy named MacGyver was just about the coolest guy on the planet.
