June 27, 2017 DoReMI 4

It Takes A Village – HNV Tuesday: We are Democrats, and That Means Something 6/20/19

June 20, 2017 DoReMI 14

It’s often said, probably with a great degree of accuracy, that a party platform is forgotten soon after a convention is over.  For the next few weeks, I intend to turn conventional wisdom on its […]

It Takes A Village – HNV Tuesday: Sometimes You Just Gotta Laugh 6/13/17

June 13, 2017 DoReMI 8

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: When Much Ado About Nothing, Isn’t 6/6/17

June 6, 2017 DoReMI 16

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: Radical Kindness 5/30/17

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: Defining Mother’s Day 5/9/17

History

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: Family and the Ties That Bind 5/2/17

May 2, 2017 DoReMI 33
