I was thinking this morning about how I hope you have had fun Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year’s holidays with your children and wife over the years. As you know and as I will always repeat, I’m a dreamer and a foolish idealist. I think you should think that at…

I read ‘A Mother’s Reckoning’ last summer. The book is by Dylan Klebold’s mother (one of the two boys who shot and murdered 12 students and injured 24 others at Columbine High School in CO in 1999). I am interested in reading about what she has gone through in the…
