Yesterday, I met with a friend that I had not spoken to because of an argument. He had told me over a year ago that he was sorry, but I was not ready to hear it. I probably “accepted” his apology at the time. But my hope was that I would [...]

Ethan has been a bit of a grump since the day after Christmas when he discovered that his Nintendo DS was lost. The whole family scoured the house looking for the “pacifier.” No luck. He had to go to California for a week and quit video games cold turkey.
Then today, he was looking for something [...]

The New Year fills me with hope. I am not certain that things will be better, but at least I have hope.
I fear that America in general has lost it morality and compassion. I am hopeful that a change in leadership will change our sensibilities.
Let me preface my remarks by saying, I think terrorism is [...]

I left for my polling place early. The middle school where I vote is about 4 blocks away. Upon crossing the intersection, I was greeted with a traffic jam. Headlights were shinning everywhere. I had to park in the nearby elementary school and walk over. The line for voting wrapped around the building. There was [...]

So I really intended to write about politics today. Then I read a friends blog. Someone who commented on his entry made a comment that I have heard all my life. For the sake of argument, I will boil down the sentiment being expressed: God is a Republican.
I think I have been fairly honest about [...]

Some days are just better than other. Some days are just great. Today is one of those days.
Work was work; but I did have a nice lunch out in the pavilion.
After work, I took Ethan to his baseball game. It was a perfect night for baseball. We were on the nice field, it was [...]

Last night I finished a Star Wars novel (Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader). OK, I can hear the groans through my monitor. It is cheap pulp Sci-FI, but I can sometimes pull meaning out of a Huggies commercial, so go figure.
I am fascinated by the character of Darth Vader.
When I was a [...]

The Fam and I went out to dinner with some friends from our old church. They felt the need to tell Jenn and me how awful the new music director is.
It was my hope that I had “moved on” since leaving Floris. But their comments lanced a hidden boil in my soul. It just [...]

So…Yesterday…is over for now.
Ethan was scheduled for an MRI at 10:30. Since kids cannot sit still long enough for the test, they have to be given general anesthesia. So they wanted us to show up at 9:00 to do all the paperwork and pre-op stuff. We left the house a little after 7. It [...]

One of my all time pet peeves is guys who do not wash their hands after going to the toilet. It ticks me off that after I have washed my hands, I have to touch a door handle that some cretin has left his crap remnants on. WASH YOUR FRIGGIN’ HANDS!
On the other hand…a gold [...]
