Column: A life well-lived was remembered this weekend (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’ve all had people in our lives that, when we look back, we realize had a profound influence on what we ended up becoming. And in many instances, they were teachers. First, there were my days at Dunn Elementary School and teachers who turned me on to the world of the written word. Today, I’m a voracious reader because of their encouragement. (My mother once said that when she sent me to my room for punishment, it never worked: that’s where my books were.) Then there was Mrs. Soblatna, the stri
Column: What came after 9/11 had longer-lasting effects (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is an extract from a longer essay I published on Substack. You can access the full essay by visiting substack.com and searching for “Farrandipity.” Last Friday marked a quarter of a century since the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. And while many paused to observe 9/11—remembering clearly where we were that morning 25 years ago—I was thinking more about how we’ve changed as a country since then. Not introspectively—not how I’ve changed—but how our government’s overreaction and
Column: Gloria Steinem’s death hit home in a personal way (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I ransacked my home last week, looking for a photo that I know exists; I’ve seen it – dozens of times over the years. But, alas, it chose to remain hidden somewhere in the depths of boxes, files, photo albums and other makeshift storage areas buried around the house. The photo I sought is one of my late wife, Mavis McKinney-Farrand, meeting with the feminist icon Gloria Steinem, who died last Thursday at the age of 92. I can’t tell you exactly when the photo was taken, but it doesn’t matter; the
Column: Trump tried to bully Canada, which makes this personal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Little more than a week ago, trade talks broke down between the U.S. and Canada, resulting in Donald Trump angrily implementing 50% tariffs on Canadian goods — plus “re-naming” a Great Lake that isn’t his — and Canada responding in kind with dollar-for-dollar counter tariffs. What happened? What is the immediate impact? And what does it mean for you, me, our state, our nation and the global economy? I spent more than a week researching and bringing together news, information, pronouncements and
Column: Did Mallory’s exit impact the election? Sure. Yeah. Maybe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s a simple question: Did Mallory McMorrow’s late exit from the Dem’s U.S. Senate primary in Michigan affect the outcome? And I think we can see how it might have by looking at the absentee and early voting. To get started, though, you need to know these two dates: • McMorrow suspended her campaign on July 5 That’s a 10-day span during which her name was on the ballot BEFORE she dropped out — AND she remained on the ballot through to election day. Of course, a logical assumption is that once M
