I retract everything I wrote in the previous post. No fireworks happened when S.O. met offspring of yours truly. True you could cut the tension with a knife-but no rudeness ensued. Polite remarks all around. So why am I blogging when I have to drive 6 hours tomorrow to a
Continue readingA good story about the S.O.
Lots to talk about in the world these days-including the Obama Iraq tour 2008. However those things will have to wait for another time. I had some fun with the S.O. in my previous post. I’m banking that she does not read the blog-but since I passed all of the

But today was a longer drive than I thought it would be. And we are both tired. Someone in the passenger seat was REALLY tired, for most of the trip up: When I looked over and saw that face, I just could not resist snapping a pix. Gomen ne? Consider

In Lenoir Tennessee that is. Long story-very complicated and has me mad enough to …………… Late start due to S.O. getting the cat taken care of and other things, but we did not hit the road till about 3:30. That was not the plan when I woke up this AM. Decided not

All packed-out the door tomorrow. I decided to not to fly to RDU but to drive up. That way if my kids come down for the funeral I can set that up for them. So, that means the S.O. and I will embark on our first ever long car trip

Rest in peace, and may God grant you life eternally. MY MOTHER January 15,1918-July 15, 2008 No Love like a Mother’s Love There is no love, like a mother’s love, no stronger bond on earth… like the precious bond that comes from God, to a mother, when

I’m typing this from a hotel room in Richmond. Why am I here? I’m asking myself the same question. Airplane takes off out of RDU flies to our nations capitol. Decent is bumpy, due to storms closing on the city. Pilots take a go-around due to winds at Reagan and

To talk about the war with neocon supporters. Andrew Sullivan rightly castigates Uncle Jimbo, Bill Kristol, and all the other actors in the theater of the absurd: “perhaps you could provide some convincing evidence that the U.S. can invade a country, topple its regime, leave immediately – and expect a

I was jarred when I opened up my computer this morning to see that Tony Snow had passed away. I’ll skip any discussion of his politics except to note what former President Bush said of him: “In this case it isn’t a press secretary. It isn’t a speech writer. It
