This is my response to a question posed on Facebook by a local news affiliate. Honestly, I post so many comments on there that they should just hire me to do OpEd ;-) Anywho…the question was in regards to a column published in the New York Times stating that the government should institute a tax on “junk food “. The local news affiliate asked if their Facebook followers agree or...

A Writer Is Born
I just read my notes on my story to my mom. She FLIPPED out! I knew she would love anything I wrote, but to see her excitement as I was reading the tidbits I have was just so damn cool.
