Beetle Wings and Other Savory Tidbits

Journalism is not a field in which facts must always be written black on white, opinion deleted, As a writer, largely of features, rather than what editors in my profession call "hard news," I particularly like writing the personal column. In those 14 inches I can explore issues of the day, take a closer look at my life, family and neighbors, The looks are at some times more thoughtful than at others. Some topics are meant merely to entertain. Others to fuel discussion. All are meant to be gentle examinations of the truth, the tidbits of life that keep all of us going.
