2 weeks ago As we celebrate Mother's Day weekend, I hope you enjoy this sentimental list of songs that express how we feel about Mom. I dedicate these songs to my mom, Carol.

October 22, 2012 The familiar 'typewriter' rhythm of the hit song '9 to 5' kicked off a journey back to a corporate office in New York City in 1979, where a chauvinistic boss was about to be taught a lesson by three secretaries with big dreams and imaginations for a better workplace.

September 11, 2012 Everyone had their own way of healing and patriotism in the wake of September 11, 2001.
