    Every day at 3:20 p.m., I am at the school bus stop on Gumwood Road to meet my grandson and walk him home. On May 1, when it was 80 degrees (and I had been working in the yard and looked like it), I walked only halfway, then waited for the bus under the...

  10. He wasn't the marrying kind

    From the well-lighted Argentine restaurant &mdash; my suggestion via Yelp &mdash; to the 70-degree night, all is well on this second date.

    It seems these days as if everyone is speculating about how Justice Anthony M. Kennedy will approach the two same-sex marriage cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. But I haven't heard anyone wondering which side Antonin Scalia will be on. He has made his views on gay relationships painfully clear.
