I’m still alive. I know I haven’t posted in forever, but things have been busy and I’m getting ready to celebrate five years of marital bliss. I’m working on a new design for this site (yes… still…) and I’m hoping, once that’s done, that I will have a visual format more conducive to both “full-scale” [...]
I have to admit that I am utterly hooked on the reboot of Battlestar Galactica on the SciFi channel. When it kicked off in 2004 as a special 2-hour movie pilot I missed it (because I don’t get full cable) and thus I was left out… for too long. Whilst my friends spun yarns about [...]
This morning I went to work with my umbrella. The walk from my car to the main gate was a torrential downpour… and the rain was coming in sideways. My umbrella was about as useful as a fishing boat in the desert. I was soaked… my bag was soaked… my electronic toys were soaked (but [...]
Today is Independence Day in the United States. Although the exact date is a bit arbitrary, back in 1776 the early American colonies voted to be free from Great Britain. Eventually the fourth of July became a national holiday marked by vivacious celebrations including fireworks, flags and fanfare. People invite over friends and fire up [...]
I am working on a new theme for this blog. It will be done in a month or so. Shortly thereafter, this current theme will be stripped down, prettied up a bit, and offered as a public WordPress theme. As a note of trivia, currently I have had 67,814 spam comments caught by Akismet before [...]
Last night I had a true, All-American Friday night. Some have no idea what that means (and probably never will)… and others will roll their eyes because they just don’t understand (and probably never will). You don’t have to be American to have an All-American Friday, as it is part of a transcendent and spiritual [...]
Reflections on Orlando / Cancun Trip – Part 2 // Photography I had only ever been to Walt Disney World (WDW) as a kid… and we went to Magic Kingdom. What I didn’t realize is present day WDW is the size of a county! This sucker is big… and the grounds were immaculately kept up. [...]
This weekend I got to hear Frank Reich preach an inspirational sermon at one of the good local churches in my area, Grace Fellowship Church. For those who don’t follow football (please don’t identify yourselves as I’m not schooled in counseling) Frank Reich is a former quarterback for the Buffalo Bills and known best for [...]
Those local to me here in New York’s Capital District already know this (it’s been all over our news)… but tonight’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition 2-hour season finale episode on ABC took place just a few miles from my house here in upstate New York. The “actual” event happened a couple months ago, but the [...]
Some loved him, and some hated him. But you couldn’t question his commitment to the principles he believed. The majority of attacks on him in life (as well as death) come from people who operate on no moral principles… whom I have no respect for. Only a coward seeks to discredit the stance of another [...]
I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
