Once a week, I visit the Federal building in downtown Harrisburg to pick up or drop off mail at the post office. I walk up the steps upon which five years ago crowds gathered and cameras were fixed.

I am Continue reading Happy anniversary to some evolutionary women As an atheist I usually feel vaguely uncomfortable about celebrating Christmas, but that is the major option I have.
