    Affairs & Infidelity are rarely as simple as someone was good while the other was bad.

We love the simplicity of being judgmental or of gossip; someone is the… Continue Reading

    The Good Wife is currently the best drama on t.v. I'm not sure why so many more women watch than men. I suspect women watch it because the female characters are complex & three dimensional. Women are important and have an impact in their roles as lawyers, wives, grandmothers &… Continue Reading

Brothers & Sisters has done a good job of illustrating this in last night's show "Resolved" aired 11/07/10.  Too many people simplify affairs into bad guy/good guy. Yes, Scotty admits he was WRONG in capital letters and he has a story to tell about… Continue Reading

It tells the love story of Lark, half-sister of Termite, who has hydrocephalus (a condition of fluid in the brain which enlarges the head). In the backdrop are three more unusual… Continue Reading

    First Lady Jenny Sanford said: “Of course I’m not saying that Mark is gay. But he may as well be. The moral decay in this country has claimed another victim and this time it was my family. Our marriage was perfect until these laws started passing around the country. Clearly… Continue Reading
