BACK TO SCHOOL EUPHORIA
Stay-at-home dad excited for start of school
Published 3:14 pm, Saturday, September 5, 2015
I retired after a 35-year career in education. After such a lengthy career, I never thought to hire a career counselor for the next phase of my life. Big mistake, the extent of which I realized after I traded positions with my wife. Our Stay-at-Home-Mom went back to work and I became the Stay-at-Home-Dad.
Why didn't someone give me a job description? My classroom was much more peaceful than spending all day with our two children during the summer.

Pot has gone mainstream in the U.S.
The culture around cannabis is changing for recreational use
By Emi Sasagawa and Kelcie Johnson, News21
Ten years ago, it would have been improbable to bring together people to consume cannabis in a large-scale event like this. But the two-day trade show was one of dozens of marijuana-focused events taking place throughout the country this year. And as more states legalize medical and recreational marijuana, the more it becomes a part of American mainstream culture.
Public opinion around marijuana in the U.S. has shifted in the last decade. In 2010, 41 percent of Americans supported legalization, according to a Pew Research Center report. By 2015, 53 percent favored it.
