A better place
A flag flying. A song playing on the radio. Simple, common things have triggered responses in a new way these past 12 months. With the help of a theme suggestion by Nancy Cregan, a teacher at Westlake Christian School, we thought September was a good time to ask readers to reflect, after events have changed so many lives, on what a difference they have made in their world. Stories and art
'Tuxedo' gives formal a black eye
Movie: The Tuxedo
'Alabama' is unusual: a worthwhile movie
Movie: Sweet Home Alabama
It IS all about me
I am really confused about something we seem to fight about often. You tell me I am selfish and inconsiderate. You remind me often how self-centered I am. I have been told for years that the world does not revolve around my schedule and me. After we fight, I leave, knowing what an inconsiderate human being I have become and how utterly disappointed you are with my SELF-CENTEREDNESS. Then, inevitably, a day or so passes, and we start all over again, with the same ending.
