That’s why I was stunned about a half-hour ago to discover that suddenly, Outlook was downloading over 1,000 new messages that fortunately were then being routed to my spam folder. What was going on?

Flipping through the LA Times last weekend, Meghan Daum had an opinion piece talking about President Obama as a new role model for Black fathers. That brought me up short, because in the past few weeks, I’ve just been thinking about him as a role model for any father, including myself. Daum wrote: It’s worth [...]
