The High Road

I am proud of my last name given to me by my father.

My ancestors are from Sparta. My last name is kind of a derivative of Leonidas, the King of Sparta and of 300 film fame.  :-)

For those of you who are unfamiliar, it is pronounced “Lee - On -  Sis”, Leonsis.

Most intelligent, non-xenophobic and educated people have no issue with its pronunciation.

Here is another interesting site to try to help the homeless.

The web allows for very innovative and personal messages and a way to help individuals.

I actually think this site and what it is trying to do - put a human face on homelessness - is a very worthy cause. Check it out and pass it on. Help where you can.
