Movie Review by Kirsten Laskey
It’s tough to say goodbye to a story that you love. But unlike Bella and Edward, the heroine and hero of the “Twilight” story, it was not love at first sight for me and the Twilight series.
Reading the synopsis of the first book, I thought “Twilight” was juvenile and silly. When my sister lent me her paperback copy of the first book, I grudgingly opened its cover.
Then I tore through the rest book, and then the next one, the one after that and the one after that.
It can’t stand up to the classics of literature but Twilight is such Read More

Column: If We Must Have Scandals And Dramas…
If We Must Have Scandals And Dramas…At least, let’s glean some lessons from the political and business news of this week.
I am struck, yet again, by the cosmic distance between the top management and the rest of the working crowd.
And as usual, a good portion of this distance is caused by the monstrous ego of the manager/leader.
But ego cannot flourish without the implicit or explicit consent of its audience.
(I did plan to continue sharing more thoughts on diversity/multiculturalism. However, sometimes, current news demands immediate attention. Read More
Letter to the Editor: Driving is Not a Right
Khalil J Spencer
League of American Bicyclists Cycling Instructor 1173
The Sunday morning Monitor reminded us of just how close we came to killing some children at the Montessori School on Canyon Road.
Why? Because as County Engineer Kyle Zimmerman tells us, our safety is held hostage by a few “irrational” drivers.
Not only do we not control them, but it seems difficult to even know who the people are who are trying to kill us, including another driver who crashed the same week on Main Hill Road while, according to the Daily Post, driving aggressively and passing another vehicle.

IT IS THE CLOTHES THAT MAKE THE MAN
We were looking at pictures of Adam’s first steps a few years ago, when Terry pointed to me in the picture.

To say that I have a love affair with clothes is not quite accurate. It is more like a codependent relationship. Read More
