It looks to be a busy week coming up. The kids are out of school for spring break, and that doesn’t bode well for getting anything done. Better still, the 2×8 that makes up part of our back balcony has a new hole about an inch and a half across,… Continue reading
It’s funny how you can look at something and not see details. Take, for instance, the logo for our local basketball team, the Phoenix Suns. I have been looking at this logo every season for the past eleven years, and it was only yesterday that I noticed that the blue… Continue reading
Congress has finally passed the health care reform bill and I sit here not on the side of the Democrats rejoicing in their victory, nor do I sit here in rebellion along with the incensed Republicans. Rather, I sit here absolutely disgusted at what American politics has turned into.
