I was struggling to put together my February newsletter. My writing group asked: What do you usually do when you’re stuck on what to include? I replied: Well, usually I have a new blog post to offer. But I haven’t been inspired to write a new one lately. Then I remembered that I’d been gathering…

Now that Erik and Lyle Menendez are eligible for parole — Menendez Miracle #6 — it no longer seems pointless to think about what they might do when they get out of prison. Rehabilitation The brothers have said that they’d like to continue the work they started in prison. From Lyle’s resentencing statement: I have worked…
