“I think sometimes our young people believe either that government is not a good thing to be involved in … or that if they did get involved, what they did wouldn’t make a difference. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are around here as a nation after more than 224 years because more than half the time, more than half the people turned out to be right on the really… Read More
“To consider the Supreme Court of the United States strictly as a legal institution is to underestimate its significance in the American political system. For it is also a political institution, an institution, that is to say, for arriving at decisions on controversial questions of national policy. As a political institution, the court is highly unusual, not least because Americans are not quite willing to accept the fact that it is a… Read More
Yesterday my dad texted me and asked if I wanted to go look for birds later. I quickly responded and told him that I did if our schedules lined up. And they lined up perfectly. I had time to go to the pool and get my swim in for triathlon training. Then after my swim I went and picked up my dad so we could go birdwatching. My dad recently told me… Read More

And I was able to enjoy this amazing day… Read More

When I can weave these two things into connecting with… Read More
I really enjoy photographing birds. I especially like birds that are mostly found in and around water. Birds that make their homes in or rely on wetlands for their survival. Wetlands birds come in so many shapes and varieties. From duck like birds to shore birds. And even amongst shore birds there is such a wide variety of birds. From tiny birds that are hard to see to the enormous Great Blue… Read More
I have always loved animals and nature. I am not sure I really thought of birds much growing up. But when I did think of birds I thought of animals like the iconic Bald Eagle. Bald Eagles were the one bird you saw everywhere growing up because it is the national bird in the United States and it appears in so much of our iconography. But I am here to tell you,… Read More
