Best Thanksgiving List Ever
I’m not going to even begin to bore anyone with the old cliche’d things I’m thankful for. Family, health, friends, etc.–anyone can think of those. Besides, I wrote a nice Thanksgiving post last year. Nope, I’m going to get real. I’m thankful for a lot of things most people probably aren’t, so why not list [...]
Thank You Veterans!
That’s not really enough to show my appreciation for the job that you guys do. The best I can do is share one of my favorite stories my grandfather wrote down for us. I’ve posted a couple of things he wrote before in different contexts. This is a short one about two “feasts” he had [...]
Irony–Labor Day Nixed By a Union
The blogosphere is abuzz about Tyson Chicken’s new contract with its labor union that eliminates Labor Day as a paid holiday and replaces it with a Muslim holiday, Eid al-Fitr for the plant in Shelbyville, TN.
How ironic that a union eliminated a union holiday! On one hand, I have to cheer the fact that an [...]
Was This Part Of The Dream?
I’ve wrestled for a couple of days on how to compose this post, and I’m still not sure I can do this idea justice. I think the best way to frame it is to begin by quoting an email a friend sent to me on Saturday. A little background–he has two small children who are enrolled in arguably [...]
Sooner Or Later They Catch On
A little over two weeks ago, Ron Paul made a morning appearance on Fox and Friends and made a slightly controversial statement that was talked about (a little bit) in the blogosphere well into the next evening. Pretty sticky story, huh?
Now, as far as newspapers go, our local New Sentinel is pretty forward thinking and [...]
Gotta Love the Holidays
Besides eating…
I’ve watched 12 episodes of Lost Season 3 in the last two days. Today we’re getting out…to play poker. Never played here before, so I’m anxious to see how easy the rooms are here.
CyberMonday Pre-Rush Post
I’ve returned safely from the land of dialup and am back in the real world with an extra 5 or 6 pounds.
If my site is down later, don’t worry. It’s more than likely getting slammed by CyberMonday shoppers who are getting everything here instead of one of the other 100,000,000,000,000 sites they could hit.
Honestly, I [...]
This Thanksgiving Post Trumps Them All
Earlier today I started on a post about Thanksgiving, how it is my favorite holiday, a truly American holiday, etc. Then my aunt forwarded this little excerpt about Thanksgiving that my grandfather wrote a few years before he died. Boy did my post look stupid.
I’ll stop writing now. His words are much better than mine.
In [...]
Amazon’s Kindle — I Don’t Get It (Yet)
Amazon launched its new ebook reader this week, and while I can definitely see the value in owning one, I think I have to pass for now. The big obstacle for me? The price.
$400 is pretty expensive, even though the gadget is cool. Amazon is footing the bill for their reader’s connectivity to the Amazon [...]
What Will You Be For Halloween?
The question gets asked every year of everybody. If you’re like me, there are two basic rules–your costume has to be homemade, and you have to keep it a secret until Halloween. It seems the administration at Kohl Elementary School in Westminster, CO only have half of the equation down.
What they are going [...]
