In common decks of cards, “the most common theory is that the 52 cards represent 52 weeks in a year. The four colors represent the four seasons. The 13 cards in a suit represent the thirteen weeks in each season, Four suits times 13 cards in a suite equals 52.”

I saw the Barbie movie. It’s remarkable that a toy with so many anti feminist aspects can be made into an emblem of feminism by a talented imagination. But the movie is more insightful about femininity than it is about masculinity, about which it has little interesting to say.

So sad to hear the news from Israel. Thinking of my family there. Also sad about the inevitable reprisals and the continuation of the cycle of violence by extremists on both sides. Praying for the poor people held hostage and all Israeli and Palestinians caught in the crossfire.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
