"Raring to go," speculation about who will win the next election cycle, Parnell bashing, suicide rates, reminiscing about "where we were four years ago," a new nephew, thoughts on hospitals, a weak connection back to loneliness, presumptuous assumption that the next generation of boys looking to Miss Moore for the answer: did I get all that? These are literally all the topics mentioned in this one opinion piece, which sounds like a rambling coffee shop blog than it does a cogent, specific piece on a specific issue and an actual battery of ideas to fix it (besides smiling at people).

For example, among the countless, unconnected topics listed is veteran suicide rates-- Miss Moore certainly hasn't served, but does she know anyone who has? She doesn't quote any facts; only simply that it's a problem.  She could have mentioned how to connect to this community, she could have mentioned how to help at the NICU. Don't worry, Miss Moore- I'm sure there's a government solution out there.
