Lent- Day 8: Ready to Die.
Christopher Wallace, A.K.A., Biggie Smalls (Image Source) Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the death of rapper Biggie Smalls, the Notorious B.I.G.

Lent- Day 4: Missing.
(Podcast art for Missing Richard Simmons) Have you heard about the new podcast Missing Richard Simmons? I listened to the first three installments this morning and am hooked.

Lent- Day 3: Buy truth, don’t sell it.
(Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in “I Love Lucy”, via Google Images) I just finished the Audible version of “Lucy and Desi: The Legendary Love Story of Television’s Most Famous Couple” (a great listen, even for casual fans of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz). One part that stuck out was Lucy’s turn to the…
