When Hillary Clinton said it takes a village to raise a child she was right. Albeit, maybe not a village per se, but a society that is invested in children's well-being. After all, are we not a caring society that prescribes to the notion that children are important? I believe we are. I believe that [...]

Not today…not by Rhoda.
Today was the three flight journey home. That is the reality of flying into Harrisburg for a reasonable price out of Fargo. I like the Harrisburg Airport and I like to pay less (not more) for airline tickets - so three flights it is. The beauty is, they are all short flights. It is wheels up, [...]
