Growing Bolder Community

My eldest son, Steven, had his first child in February. We are overjoyed with this newest member. My son is an artist, musician and now teaching in Phoenix. His work is well known and has earned a wonderful reputation as a native artist. His son is now two months old and I wished I was closer so I could babysit him. He is so cute. Terry and I have been managing a mobile home park since...

Talking to one of my best friends Jumbo today kicked up an old college memory of my Physics professor saying "go ahead and use cell phones and help the endangerment of monkeys in Africa" This was 9 years ago now. As you can imagine the whole class was like WTF. He went on to explain that materials in cell phone batteries are mined from parts of Africa and those miners would feast on the...

To a large extent, we are a mobile, moving society. Although I don’t have any statistics, I would venture to guess that a large majority of Americans have made one or more major moves in their lives.

There were about thirty people, ages fifty and above, in attendance - more for the bagels than to hear me I think. Anyway, I briefly explained how the book came to be then read about...

The look on Christina's face is priceless. Monkey boy knows no fear. He has even taken to scaling the jungle gym at the playground down the street from the house. He'll find some fear and caution after that first good but minor tumble. At least that is how I remember it from my childhood. But not if Christina has anything to do with it. She is busily engineering a mobile rope system that will...

I, like many others in North Carolina, am shocked, saddened and even outraged over the death of little Shaniya Davis. This is the five-year-old who was being used as a sex slave by her mother, 25-year-old Antoinette Davis. Shaniya's body was discovered Monday in a rural area---several days after her mother reported her missing from their mobile home. Here's the timeline according to Fayetteville...
