    The man who died upright on a Rittenhouse Square bench

    ​"We want to live well, but our foremost efforts should be to help others live well." -- 1 Corinthians 10:24, The Message First, before I get into it, let me credit the Philadelphia Inquirer​ for the headline that I've used directly above as the title of this post. An article​ of the same headline just published today has moved me so much that I must use the same title to drive the point home: someone who I recognize died just sitting in the park that I walk through frequent

    Until what age do I have to pay child support in Pennsylvania?

    ​"Blue, you're my boy!​" -- Will Ferrell in Old School Here's the answer to your pregunta, straight from the case law of Pennsylvania: Notwithstanding a child reaching majority at age 18, a parental duty of support is owed until a child reaches 18 or graduates from high school, whichever event occurs later.

Not courting talk -- real straight talk about souls, for life is holy and every moment is precious." -- On the Road​, Jack Kerouac, p. 58 ​​ Shit, man, although this quote is from over 50 years ago (published in 1957), it was already hitting the mark on American culture. I don't think it's a stretch to say that it applies eve

    The Voice of Anthony Riley

    "Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, 'How can I help?'" -- Romans 15​:2, The Message​ My office is located just a few blocks from Rittenhouse Square. Being so close, I'll often walk through the park on my way back from Court, especially on days with nice weather and when there's no 12 bus in sight down Walnut Street. On a recent day walking through Rittenhouse, I thought about Anthony Riley​, the street singer who would ofte
