The Importance of Proofreading
I enjoy baseball. It is about the only sport that I actually will sit down and watch for any length of time. I have fond childhood memories of listening to the Red Sox games on my transistor radio or hearing it coming from the neighbor’s yard through my open bedroom window when I was supposed to be sleeping.

Economic Issues
On this Columbus Day, I am stepping back on my soapbox. I have my concerns about the whole economic issue. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the whole thing. I understand why the government feels the need to step in and dump money into market and I even understand them helping out some of the mortgage companies. What I don’t understand is how this will work in the long term. What … Continue reading
