A National Divorce?
Over the last few months I have been reading a book written by Brian Kilmeade. “The President and the Freedom Fighter: Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and their battle to Save America’s Soul.” Just a couple of weeks ago I read the pages detailing John Brown and the unfortunate circumstances of the Federal Arsenal that would…

Deli-Style Food
A year ago when I was training for DaVita there was a restaurant behind our hotel I really wanted to try. My fellow trainee and I were in Illinois and it was the night before our last day there. We had made the deal to try that place for our supper. While I took a…
