SLUG TALES
I have an enemy in the slug line. And the thing is, he doesn’t even know it.

As a child, I grew up living with dogs and cats in my house. In fact, there were so many German Shepherd dogs in many home I sometimes wondered if I was living in their house.
As pet owners, animals have found a special place in our hearts. We play with them, care for them, shop for them, and in turn, they help comfort and bring us joy.

VLI in May held a reception honoring their Top 10 Under 40 honorees, at Kora Restaurant in Crystal City.
“The Virginia Leadership Institute is proud to honor young African-Americans in Northern Virginia who are raising the bar in their professions and in the community,” said Virginia Leadership Institute founder and CEO Krysta Jones. “Our honorees are entrepreneurs, elected officials, military veterans, executives and community leaders. Not too long ago some Blacks avoided moving to Virginia because of the long-held stereotypes associated with Virginia’s role as a slave state. These honorees prove that young African Americans are actively working to make the commonwealth a better place for all Virginians to live and work.”

“Man of Steel” has arrived, and trust me on this, he is one of the good guys.
We didn’t need another Superman. We have the comic books and I was raised on the 50’s TV show starring George Reeves. There were more TV shows and two separate movie re-boots. So it’s impossible to approach this movie without pre-conceived notions. I decided to just sit back and watch director Zack Snyder’s (Watchmen) version in the spirit of truth, justice and the American way.
