Across the Fence: Sehnsucht
The Germanism in the English language I chose for today’s is a term used in everyday-life but also in psychology. Sehnsucht (pronounce approximately: ‘zayne-zooh-t) describes a state of yearning for something. It doesn’t sound really happy, does it?

Letter: Now I Know Why I Wander
As if I didn’t know before. For this past Father’s Day my family gave me a map. I am a school board director and in a recent cross-state trek for a conference I missed my turn (for which miles out of my way I was not compensated by the way – laughter). It didn’t help […]
