So when I tripped over this story on the internet (someone sent it to me, shhh), I was very excited. My … Read more

We may have missed an opportunity here. Transition. Great word. To change from one form, state, style, or place to another.

It keeps you … Read more
The State of Massachusetts is a hair’s breadth away from changing the meaning of family at the most nascent level of government involvement – the birth certificate.
