Happy New Year!
Time glass galaxy Is flipping, starting a new Happy New Year, all! I am having a great time catching up with my relatives in Germany, which made me think about how important time with the loved ones is for our renewal and recharging. Wishing everyone a great new year!

My Top Story Index
When I got my first Top Story, I had a feeling of butterflies in my stomach. To this day, I feel elated when one of my stories gets this distinction, even though I believe some of them are not as worthy of this status as those of my stories that I really loved and poured my heart into but got left out. For example, I am still puzzled that neither of my two Sisyphus stories got a TS. But I am content with the fact that my stories are selected by Vocal, for whatever reason they are.

My 2024 Winter Break
Every year after a long fall semester I try to get out to warmer places or places I have my people in. I love traveling with my son, and in previous years when he was a high school student and just started college we went to Brazil, Peru, Paris and last year - to Italy, where we had the most wonderful time together.

"Oh, Jeff... I'm Disappointed!"
"Oh, Jeff, I love you too, but..." her Marylin Monroe-like voice with a British accent sounded unusually assertive. That scared him. The long pause was even scarier.

Vicarishame - 4
It is not my fault. But as someone who teaches media and communication, I feel deeply vicarishamed for the Time's decision to name Trump "Person of the Year" for the second time (2016 was the first, also after the election).

Vicarishame - 1. Top Story - December 2024.
Vicarishame (vi-shame) - feeling of vicarious or secondhand embarrassment a decent person experiences for a wrong action committed not by the person but someone else.

A Woman President
Conceded fast, burnt by hatred, rejected. Will she ever run again? *** When people kept saying "America is not ready for a female president," I couldn't believe it. But now two formidable women have been rejected in recent races, both in favor of a billionaire conman. I wonder if another woman will ever run again. Pam Bundi, perhaps, of Lara Trump? Or, God save us all, MTG?

Greg, I need your advice. Sure, Annie, what’s up? I like someone you know. Oh, great, did you tell him? Not yet, still thinking how.
