WASHINGTON—After emerging victorious from one of the most pivotal elections in history, president-elect Barack Obama will assume the role of commander in chief on Jan. 20, shattering a racial barrier the United [...]

I get a laugh from every one of his blog posts out on bobandandrew.com. His name is Bob Woolsey (the same as his dad. Sheesh. Who names his kid after himself these days?), and he’s my cousin. Yes, funniness runs in the family, though I’m not saying I inherited the gene; if I did, it [...]

And now for something completely different…
For our writer’s group assignment this month, we were supposed to create something that dealt with our first job. As mine was thirty years ago this month, I found myself writing a spoof to a very famous pair of tunes…Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band/With A Little Help From My [...]
