Gone.
Yup, it’s getting to be that time of year again (snow notwithstanding). Fortunately for anyone who reads my drivel, I won’t be around here all that much for, well, quite a while. Unfortunately for a group of 6-8 year-olds, there are a truckload of younger kids out for baseball this year, so around ten of […]
Well, I’ve been pretty preoccupied over the last few months. As most of you know, my wife and I own a small business in addition to our regular jobs. Or we did. Round about fall sales started to crater, and how. We sold luxury products, so it really didn’t surprise me that we’d be on […]

As far as blogging goes, I’m mostly with Jack: there ain’t much going on in the political world that is entertaining or postworthy. I’m not quite as involved in watching sports as he appears to be, even though I did get to most of the Carroll games this year. On the other hand, TV football […]
Presto Chango!
Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.
Ah, caring for others at the point of a gun. I’d consider boning up on my home […]
The Sun came up today after all. On another note, today is Gunpowder Day; celebrate accordingly.
in 1961, Ralph Macchio was born. Unfortunately, there’s not much else going on today to get too excited about.
I tried to embed the video, but it keeps screwing up my template. If I cared that much, I might try to fix it. This will have to do.

A lot of satisfaction can be had from fencing. One can see one’s progress clearly, one can create a straight sight line that compliments one’s chunk of ground, one can enjoy the satisfaction of aching muscles at the end of the day, one can spend some quality time with a tractor. On the other hand, […]
For the life of me, I can’t figure out how my being my “brother’s keeper” has any bearing on the functions of government. How does a majority vote turn a coercion into a virtue? Isn’t there a gaping moral chasm between voluntarily giving the shirt off my back and having it forcibly removed? What is […]
I generally despise campgrounds. Given the choice, I’ll go a mighty long way to bypass them, but sometimes it’s unavoidable. When the family wants to go to attraction X, there really isn’t any other option unless one wants to get cited for off road travel. There are just too damn many people pretending to experience […]
We’ve had our way with you many times over, but still you’re putting up with us, so this weekend I’ll tip my ugly American hat to you while I still can, and in the best way I know how. There will be dead animals on the propane grill, dead plants in the dutch ovens cooked […]
