Oak Park High School Presents Les Miserables
It’s amazing what some kids with passion can do! Oak Park High School’s production of Les Miserables was truly wonderful. They did it four times with two different casts for the leads. Each cast was terrific and the entire ensemble was simply fantastic. Now, I’m not the least bit biased, of course, even though my son played “Marius” (this is “his” cast – on Opening Night). Enjoy these nine minutes of clips from this 2 1/2 hour production of Les Miserables.

Men vs. Women: Sexism, Perception, and Reality
I love writing this blog series. Why? Because I get to poke holes in the conventional, contemporary politically correct stereotypes. And, I sincerely believe that the differences between men and women are genuine and trying to conflate them to fit some academic model of humanity simply denies our humanity. And, for those that know me, I like to provoke…discussion. I’m still waiting for some ardent feminists or Women’s Studies students or professors to weigh in with their comments. So, shall we take on Sexism? Yeah, let’s go for it and I’m going to reveal an embarrassing story along the way!
