Common ground

 

Reading Ana Veciana Suarez’s Dec. 29 article, Home from college for the holidays, about her two sons made me reflect on my two sons who were also home for the holidays.

I have two very different sons.

One is an avid sports nut who loves to work out and surf. My other son loves computers, video games and figuring out how things work.

I have often worried how these two different young men would find common ground and bond.

My questions are starting to be answered as I see them helping each other with their strengths.

I see one son helping his brother with his computer and the other son taking his brother to the gym.

I guess a jock and a geek can find common ground.

    The real loss: Public trust

    Mayor Carlos Gimenez recently revealed that Miami-Dade County faces a $50 million-plus budget shortfall, alerting commissioners and employee unions that the county will seek continuation of sizable benefit concessions. According to a memo sent by Gimenez, these cuts are necessary if the county wants to maintain current public services. In other words, if you want clean water from your faucet or your garbage picked up, then your middle-class county employee will have to make a significant financial sacrifice. This reported shortfall also includes $15 million in the county’s fire-rescue budget, so please try not to play with matches.

  • Story overplayed on front page

    Re the May 19 story Notoriety follows Rivera pal in Nicaragua: While most of us would find former U.S. Rep. David Rivera and Ana Alliegro, and their antics, despicable, I don’t think that nasty story about Alliegro and her goings-on in a small town in Nicaragua was worthy of the front page.

  • Who’s responsible for Benghazi?

    The May 19 letter Let me out of GOP offers a simplistic explanation of the Benghazi attack. But many quetions remain unanswered:
