BPG mixes it up with eclectic "Move" show
Strong Auditorium was filled nearly to capacity this past Friday as students and parents flocked to see Ballet Performance Group's spring showcase, entitled "Move."What is immediately obvious watching BPG is that the emphasis is on the performance, not just the ballet. It's not, apparently, all-pink tutus and "Swan Lake," as the first number immediately proved. […]
Don't blame fairy tales for your emotional issues
I don't like to repeat myself. I also don't like to repeat others. Luckily for you, it's the written word, so you can read it as many times as you want.

Religion 101: Make one yourself
I am, unlike my friend Linnell Randall, a God-fearing man. So on occasion, I feel like he should do me some favors, you know? I mean, I didn't suffer through five years of Hebrew school torture for nothing. Also, I lip-synched through much of my Bar Mitzvah, but I digress. The point is, people turn […]
