Playing for keeps
Playing solitaire late into the night with no hope of winning only makes for one tired person. The game of empire being played in Washington has the potential to waste a whole world. - Shlomit Auciello, 2007-01-08
...and me without a camera
For a while I added photographs to my on line columns, relying on each one's thousand words to amplify my vision. - Shlomit Auciello, 2006-12-27
Customs and immigration
We spent hours sitting on benches under an open roof, Joe on one side of the building's door, me and the kids on the other. To calm one child's indignant sense of justice, I explained that we were in their country now, and had to follow their rules. - Shlomit Auciello, 2006-12-21
Merry whatever
According to the website at http://dictionary.reference.com, a secular humanist is someone who subscribes to "any set of beliefs that promotes human values without specific allusion to religious doctrines." - Shlomit Auciello, 2006-12-18
To each his own
We make too many assumptions, not the least of which is that we know what assumptions we are making, and know how to correct for them. - Shlomit Auciello, 2006-12-10
Still crazy after all these years
Performers ranged in age from a girl barely in her teens to a man in his 70s. It was, without trying, a celebration of a high school that is in no way the sort of "adolescent ghetto" that most secondary schools have become. - Shlomit Auciello, 2006-12-03
Journalism's changing world
I set out a little over a week ago in search of editorial pages willing to host this column. It's been appearing in various locations in Maine for over six years, and now I'm greedy for more readers. - Shlomit Auciello, 2006-11-29
The good we do
In light of today's election results, you may be thinking either that you've done all you can without success or that you've won a victory and can relax. Please think again. - Shlomit Auciello, 2006-11-06
Bump in the night
On a still clear night at this time of year, there is a depth to the field of stars and planets that puts the humble in our place, and in that too there is magic. - Shlomit Auciello, 2006-11-01
The case for IRV
In 2006, there are five candidates for governor. I'll tell you up front that I'm waiting 'til I pick up the pen on this one. If ever there was an election for Instant Runoff Voting (IRV), this is it. - Shlomit Auciello, 2006-10-24
