I am on my way to interview another Saint Louisan, looking for a job. So far, we have interviewed dozens of our neighbors who are ready to work! A few have found jobs through our efforts, but so many more are still in limbo.

I haven't been this excited since the experts discovered dark chocolate and coffee might save my life! And it can be done all while I read a book. Life keeps getting better and better.

The Saint City and Saint Louis County library systems are sponsoring a reading initiative called READ SAINT LOUIS. READ SAINT LOUIS will offer books in at least five different categories...something for everyone. The goal is to get all of rea...

For those of you who followed my blogs about the disappearance of 16 year-old Cassandra Jones, I am relieved to report that she came home. Sources tell me she reappeared Saturday morning as family and friends gathered to distribute fliers about her. Few details are being released about her whereabouts. The journalist in me wants to insist on full disclosure. But the humanity in me allows me to give thanks that she is okay and offer p...
