Trayvon Martin: unwittingly cast in a role he never sought to play
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you have already heard about the indignity that Trayvon Martin’s family has had to endure with his untimely and unpunished death.

Living for the Citay 3: Charm City Redux
Pic: View from back patio; the plastic bag, the only blight on the scene. While I’ve been enjoying the beautiful weather and forgetting that it’s March not May, I forget that others haven’t been enjoying life as much as I. For the last two days I have blissfully sought the sun, taking advantage of its …
Isn’t this awesome?! I discovered this fun item in my mail yesterday thanks to my brother Mezei:-) This gift spawned from a conversation we were having about my missing actually holding a handset up to my ear (work doesn’t count) while laying across my bed and gossiping on the phone for hours.

The Good Life…yep like that Kanye song!
Once again total swirl of thoughts brought on by my fabulous night out with a new group of ladies in celebration of a mutual friend’s bachelorette party and a 2+ hour long conversation with my older brother who always inspires (although I’m sure he doesn’t think of himself as an inspiration).
