Question authority.
Question the consensus of your peer group.
Anyone who does NOT want you to do these things is not acting in your best interest.

Heading east. Overhead is the Market Street Walkway.
As always, I apologize here for the shaky-cam. I was especially discombobulated after running to get the shot. It even exceeded my daily baseline of dysfunctional discombobulation.

Market Square and Market Street, Roanoke, VA, June 2022
I passed a neat milestone today. With my letter in The Richmond Times-Dispatch, I’ve now seen my writing appear in 50 periodicals (in addition to standalone publications like anthologies and such). I started waaaaaay back in 1996 or so with my first job as a reporter for the Culpeper Star-Exponent.
This arrives just a bit ahead of my 50th birthday, too — so I celebrated with a strawberry lemonade in Market Square.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch publishes my letter about mandatory school prayer.
I’m quite glad today to see my latest letter to the editor (about mandatory prayer in the public schools) published by The Richmond Times-Dispatch. You can read it online right here.
The Times-Dispatch is Virginia’s second largest newspaper, with a Sunday circulation of over 120,000 people. Thanks so much to its editorial staff for graciously allowing me to share my opinion there.

The Free Lance-Star publishes my letter to the editor about mandatory school prayer.
I’m so happy today to see my latest letter to the editor (about mandatory prayer in the public school classroom) appear in the pages of The Free Lance-Star. You can read it online right here.
In addition to being the newspaper for my college town of Fredericksburg, Virginia, The Free Lance-Star is a leading regional news source with more than 65,000 weekday readers. I’m quite grateful to its editorial staff for allowing me to share my perspective there.
