United States Representative Gabrielle Giffords has a friend in author Tom Zoellner. Tom has known Gabby for a decade and has even knocked on doors in the Arizona sun in support of her campaign. He knows a side of her all America would like to know. Tom wrote, "I want her to be able to ride her motorcycle through the hills east of town that she loved, to pop in to the TTT Truck Stop for some pie à la mode, to talk to the person on the stool next to her about whatever they wanted to say, to take hummingbird sips... [Read the full story]

Because everyone’s brain is different prior to the injury, everyone’s brain injury is specific to the individual.

Memory loss is a common effect of brain injury. Some... [Read the full story]

What is a Boy?

February 7, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

What is a Boy was written by an anonymous author and was published in The Nevada News of Prescott, Arkansas on January 25, 1951. It was recently resurrected by Jerry McKelvy in his Sandyland Chronicle and serves as the basis for this article. My thoughts were turned to this subject with the SuperBowl commercial featuring Little Darth Vader (shown below). I suppose it hit home with me since both my son and grandson dressed up as Darth Vader on Halloweens many years apart. Darth Vader and, now, Volkswagen, will last in memory... [Read the full story]

Banks Chasing Down Credit Card Balances

June 10, 2009 · 2 Comments 

Known as balance chasing, banks have shown their complete and utter disregard for rebuilding the American economy by chasing down credit that was once approved for their customers.
