Racism today

May 7, 2012April 19, 2017 Jo Tango

I’ve been thinking a lot about racism for two reasons. First, Mrs. T. and two of our children went down to Washington DC for spring break.

Growing up, I went to one pro baseball game. The ballpark was far away and we didn’t have much money. So I couldn’t resist saying yes to season tickets after being on the wait list for 7 years. The video shows some F-16 jets flying over the park during the opening ceremony. Pretty cool. Fun

Single and homeless mothers: true entrepreneurs

February 29, 2012January 9, 2018 Jo Tango

I recently was reading email in my parked car.  A car pulled up near me.  A young and pretty woman got out.  Pale and thin, she looked tense.  An older woman had driven her.  She looked very sad. They started unloading a few plastic bags of clothing and children’s toys.  It wasn’t much.  The young
