Hi friends. Call me the “Grinch who stole February 14th.” But I admit that Valentine’s Day just seems so. . . shallow to me!

I hope you enjoy this column.

This column came about as a result of me looking for the current science grade of one of my children. What I found was some very interesting material on the teacher’s official school website.

Enjoy.

Hi friends, this column is a little personal. I share some of my experience in post-divorce life with young kids. A recent conversation with a dear friend also experiencing the politically correct culture – and seeing the terrific movie “It’s Complicated” – inspired this one.

Hi friends – here is this week’s column. I have often had, or tried to have, this conversation about happiness with my kids. I don’t know if they are “getting” it, but I hope something is sinking in!
