Today is World AIDS Day. The White House ignored the AIDS crisis when it began because a Republican (Reagan) was president. The United States is no longer observing World AIDS Day because another Republican (Trump) is president. #Bigots

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs.

His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims.

When I'm supposed to root against the Rams because it helps the Packers, but civic pride wins out.

My dad's statement was, "The Dodgers may want him, but would he want them." Both of us said no.

Circa 2018, the deacon at my parish tried to make this arguement. After mass, a woman let him have it. He now lives in the Villages because Long Beach is too woke for him.

In a year that has taken nearly everything from me, I am most thankful for sharing this moment with my kid. That blue blob in the upper left corner is my kid and I. I felt like Cinderella that night. I just hope he knows how much it meant to me.

1. I don't necessarily believe in reincarnation, though I have heard some crazy stories. If it is true, I know I was a teen in the mid 60s. I watch the shows from 63-66 and scream along.
2. He is my Beatlemania

Good morning to those of you planning to watch the extended Beatles anthology. No, I don't care if I know the whole story. Time spent with my four friends is time well spent.
