Column: January - Another trip to the loony bin?

January was simply too rich to leave behind without just a LITTLE bit of social commentary. This column practically wrote itself. Find it here :) http://www.mushroom-city-memoirs-the-column.blogspot.com/.

Column: A last look back in the rearview mirror

Since 2008 was such a CRAZY year from the standpoint of a nutz-o election (and what an outcome - the nation's first Black president!) Anyway the MAIN thing is - can he get us out of this financial mess?? - nevermind if he's black, white, yellow or purple for that matter. So, because it was such a crazy year and the economy is basically in the tank and who knows what these politicians are doing, nevermind the stock market, my latest column in the Morgan Hill Times (January 2) was devoted to a look back at all the insanity. You can read it here:
