This Valentine’s Day is a cold one. Despite being Wednesday, my place of employment is closed… for the first time since I can remember. I just got done snow blowing my 150ft driveway and it took me twice as long as usual because the snow was coming up over the top of my Briggs & [...]
With the general election coming up in the United States there’s plenty of chatter about it all. I found this article by Michael McDonald, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution and assistant professor at George Mason University, to be quite interesting… a departure from the usual drivel. It covers five common myths about “turning [...]
In a bold move toward being more Christ-like I am going to delve into the wondrous world of drink-making… that is, brewing. With the help of a home-brewing kit from my wife I will test my skills at this time-honored tradition, and as a follower of Christ I am excited by the renowned group of [...]
Five years. Doesn’t seem like it, though. September 11, 2001. I’m not blogging about this because it’s the trendy thing for online political mavens to do… I’m paying honors to the heroes – to the fallen and to the survivors.

I have been reminded in a plethora of ways recently that the United States is divided. I know what you’re thinking… Gee, Einstein, did you just figure that out? But really, I don’t think it’s divided in the ways everyone else speaks of. You’ll hear many try and characterize the red states and the blue [...]
A friend just forwarded me a GREAT article written by Dennis Prager for the Jewish World Review titled ‘World Opinion’ is Worthless. There are several phenomena at work here… probably the chief of which is cowardice. People are cowards… which is primarily why they choose to flatter rather than be honest. Candor is seen as [...]
Provincetown, Massachusetts, also known as P-town, is located at the tippy tip of Cape Cod. It has a large gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans-gendered, dual-souled, bi-curious, criss-cross, and confused population comparitively with the size of the town, making it one of the highest concentrations of gayness in America. Now the Cape is a beautiful place that [...]
Kim Komando, America’s Digital Goddess, is an über-’puter-savvy talk radio host who has a weekly 3-hour call-in show on over 400 radio stations. For people local to me in Albany, NY, she is on 810 WGY from 1-4:00pm. Her website is Komando.com. I find her show to be a wealth of information. Much of it [...]
Update: It’s been two years since I wrote this, and in light of how much the price of oil is dominating the news lately, I think I need to revisit this… soon. Talk of gas prices is everywhere. It’s actually beginning to annoy me. Is the media so hard on their luck for a good [...]
It is true. Terra Nova Church is featured on the cover of the latest Metroland, Albany’s über-alternative weekly newspaper. [Click here for the whole article] Now you may want to know why a liberal, left-hugging periodical not known for being faith-friendly would take front-page notice of a conservative, Biblically-based church? Let me suggest that Terra [...]
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.
