May 23—Navigating the law isn't easy. There is a reason lawyers go to school for so long, pay so much for their education and in turn charge what they do per hour.

May 9—Christmas isn't just a festive holiday. Not in the U.S., at least. Christmas is also business — big business.

In household terms, that's like getting another paycheck — not one that's unexpected but one that you plan on all year.

May 2—If you are not one of the people who was deeply offended by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent statements about the deficiencies of people with autism, I will assume that you do not know anyone with autism. Or at least, you think you don't. That is not terribly surprising, as even people with autism can be unaware of it. Women, in particular, can be identified later, just as they can be with other conditions like ADHD or bipolar disorder.
