Commuting and Divorce – Granting that there is a bit of an agenda behind this article, the facts are interesting enough: with a commute comes an increased likelihood of divorce.

Fair – Ed Welch says “fair” is a 4-letter word. “It’s a child’s first sentence, perhaps a senior’s last, and it makes many appearances in between. So who would have thought that fair is a dirty word?

Technology as an Alternative to Love – This is probably worth thinking about.

Coming Home – A photo gallery from LIFE of soldiers returning from war.

Last Goodbye – In honor of Memorial Day, Christian Rapper Tedashii released this track/video from his new album (which releases today, as it happens).

    Love Is the Interpreter

    There have been a few bands and musicians I did not particularly care for when I first heard their music. I came across them on a cassette or CD in the old days, or on YouTube or Apple Music in more recent days, and found that their music didn’t really resonate. I set them aside…
