Current Events

Given the recent reporting of how a Cornell University assault was handled by the University; I wanted to post something aimed at the assaulters, and not the one assaulted. 

Avoiding Sexual Assault

Book of the Week

Not only does Uncle Tony offer some solid advice, he was also a pretty good story teller.

In Chapter 14 on celebrating, Uncle Tony told me about the time he took his first wife to a wedding, just before they were to be divorced.

I asked, “What happened?”

Uncle Tony said, “There was some guy on the dance floor doing back flips, the splits, you name it and he was doing it.”

I said, “So?”

Uncle Tony said, “Well, my wife says to me, you know, 15 years ago that guy asked me to marry him and I turned him down.”

I said, “So what did you say to her?”

Uncle Tony said, “I told her that it looks like he is still celebrating.”

Film Clip of the Week

Rather than post a trailer from a film, I thought maybe you would enjoy a video I took of the London street scene, while I was there last month.

I was came across this blog post:
