My high school choir teacher once asked me when I'm finally going to do something with my voice. This is what I'm doing with it. Thursday, February 12, 2015. A Special Sentencing Proceeding. I love a good competition. Or even a bad one. Spelling bees, backyard bocce ball matches, staring contests.

I’m sharing this in an effort to help t...
