I went to college with Jess Barron. We were even on the newspaper staff together at one point. She now lives in the Bay Area, too, but we’ve only seen each other once out here. In true fashion of its being a small world, I even work with her fiance. I mention Jess now because […]

Wow, I’m really beginning to wonder if some government types are keeping an eye on me. Have I been targeted as a dangerous liberal extremist?
