The Taliban's Plan To Rule the World
While the turmoil seems to never end in the Middle East, the idea of the return of Al-Qaeda is getting more and more popular, since such a group has a historical ties with the Taliban that reached power in Afghanist in 2021. The dire situation that spells out the fate of the Afghan citizens in Taliban's regime rule hangs in the air with it bringing to mind the global setting of the day regardless of the distance.

Family Affair
Hey everyone, I am going to start an on-going new series of critiques on old television shows that I grew up on back in the late sixties and the seventies. The first one is 'Family Affair' starring Brian Keith and Sebastian Cabot who played Mr. Bill Davis and Mr. French. This was the story of a bachelor uncle and his gentlemen's gentleman who was found to take care of his two nieces and a nephew. Many of the situations that being that this program was a situation comedy would cover subjects like how a single 'father' raised children to issues like the one that I just watched dealing with 'latchkey children'.

Kindergarten
Kindergarten is the grade that a long time ago was not really required to send children. I was one student that did not go to Kindergarten. At one time it was only a half day program with two classes a morning and/or an afternoon class. Kindergarten teachers were the first to really get into the serious academics of learning with reading, writing, math skills and even science and social studies/life skills.

Day Care
At one time I was a Day Care Assistant Teacher for young toddlers. It was a blast. Day Care is a chance for very young and young children to gain the proper socialization skills needed for when they reach the age of primary schooling. Academics mainly entail letters, number, basic shapes and colors, and maybe learning to read pictures.

The Month of June
Ahh, the month of June and all the warm days and nights to follow. It is the month of graduations from all levels from preschool through college and some even from graduate schools. June is also the month that some summer jobs may start. There is the Father's Day holiday in this month.

April
April to me is one of months of Spring. It is a month of sun but mainly rain showers or even at times thunderstorms. You remember the old saying "April showers bring May flowers." Depending on where you live some May flowers have already bloomed and hopefully will continue to bloom. There are some years that Easter would fall during this month, but not thi year for Passover is the only religious day for the month and no other holidays.

March
The third month of the year and depending where you live in the country it is either snowy or rainy. In the South it is usually damp and rainy and just sort of drab. Where I was raised it is usually snowy and cold. There is St. Patrick's Day and this year at the end of the month was Easter. Other religious days were Palm Sunday and Good Friday. It also had the clock change of Daylight Savings Time.

February
Oh, the month of February. What to say about it. It is the shortest month of just 28 days unless you go every four years when it is 29 days thanks to leap year. There are holidays like Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day. Two days one for love and one for good luck in maybe finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

January
January has come and gone, but this idea for a series just came to me the other day. January the first month of a new year according to the Gregorian calendar that we follow. Happy New Year! This is the month that we all try to do better in all the different aspects of our lives from our health both physical and emotional. We also try to better in our professions and just trying to be better people.
