Local Boy Says to Religious Right: “Merry Fu...

Here is a copy of an essay I wrote for Maplewood online about the maplewood south orange school district banning holiday songs. “A Plea For Neutrality” I left Columbia High School in June 2004, a diploma holding member of the prestigious Columbia High School alumni. Three months later, I’ve returned to my home state of New Jersey, and my alma mater of Columbia to see it once again shrouded in scandal....

Thanksgiving....

I don’t think 10 days of pure debauchery came even close to describing what it is to go home for Thanksgiving from College. Here’s the best analogy I can think of: In high school, you are Thomas Anderson. You know that something out there is better than the life you are living right now, but have no idea what it is.
