Traces of a Stream

This blog is named after a book by Jacqueline Jones Royster. While my goals for this blog are not quite as lofty as Ms. Royster's (promoting literacy and social change) I do intend to address ideas, philosophies, and policies that need to change. Since I consider myself a sociologist I will focus on anything social, which basically covers everything under the sun and then some. Topics will include my take on politics, music, sports, family issues, literature, to name a few.

I heard one European player complain that these sisters have to many muscles. But the Williams sisters have to have muscles. They have to lift those trophies over their head after a long grueling tennis match, and those things are heavy.; July 19, 2008 at 2:08 PM

The William sisters are awesome, but I know it pains them to compete against one another. Too many muscles? What a joke!; July 19, 2008 at 3:55 PM
