It wasn't until I began surviving on two or three hours of sleep a night that I began to understand how child abuse happens. Prior to having children, nothing could have been more alien to me than the notion that anyone would even consider harming a child. But a few months into parenthood, having never had gotten more than a few hours of sleep at a stretch, I remember curling up in a fetal position on my bed listening to my inconsolable baby screaming in the next room. Oh, I would have given my left arm (and I'm left-handed, mind you), for maybe five or six hours of silence. Five or six hours of sleep. Fortunately, I'm a relatively stable person. Even bleary-eyed and on the brink of madness, I had...

There are a lot of salespeople in the world who will do or say almost anything to get a sale, and a lot of times the things they say are lies or half truths, and the things they do are deceptive and deceiving. Just like a lot of other things in life, it only takes getting burned a couple of times to make you distrust all of their ilk. (C'mon, who uses "ilk" anymore?) I was a federal purchasing...

Here is a quick list of some of the most critically underrated television shows of the past decade. Critical approval and ratings often don’t go hand in hand but these shows deserve/deserved both. Pull up a bar stool, a cold drink and dig in with these great shows. The Shield Critics praised this gritty police drama but very few non-critics talk about how great it was. Maybe it gets lost in the praise for another police drama from the period, “The Wire.” Nevertheless, “The Shield” and especially Michael Chiklis deserve all the praise they get, and more, for bringing realness and sympathy to often unsympathetic and undeserving characters.
