Osama photo needs omission

May 4, 2011 by Jozie Sands

It is understandable for people who lost loved ones in the World Trade Center attacks to feel closure, because the man who publicly claimed responsibility for ... [Read More…]

Considered jobs offer memories

March 25, 2011 by Jozie Sands

As soon as kids are old enough to talk, we start asking them what they want to be when they grow up. It's just one of those questions that comes up.

Memories linger, hangover clears

February 20, 2011 by Jozie Sands

Students may not wake up to find a tiger in their bathroom or their mattress on the roof, but they may greet the Sunday after Sing Song still sporting crimson cheeks and brightly colored tights. And that, my friends, is a Sing Song hangover. Other symptoms include spontaneous choreography, an affinity for white gloves and conversing via rewritten ... [Read More…]

Holiday offers excuse for treats

February 11, 2011 by Jozie Sands

Growing up, Valentine's Day went pretty much the same way every year: I went to school and did all the normal  Valentine's Day stuff. I exchanged cards with my friends, watched for the hourly interruptions when candy-grams would be delivered and hoped for the big deliveries from the main office. These were always bouquets of flowers or baskets of ... [Read More…]

People I saw at school and church on a regular basis  would walk out of the ... [Read More…]
