This is the problem with so called progressives. They don’t oppose the [...]

I like the mornings sometimes. Not always, but sometimes. I don’t particularly like getting up early, but I have a job so that’s what I do. What I like most about getting up in the morning is the summertime. It’s quiet and I have time to just sit and think.
Morgan is out of school, so [...]

Right wing? I think not. Go take a look for yourself.
Main points:
1. Interpreting the law as it is, not as they think it should be.

Monday was Morgan’s dentist appointment. We found out when they called to confirm our appointment on Friday afternoon. Now, this was a big surprise, since I usually try to suppress these memories as far down in my subconscious as possible. This is just to prevent me from starting to rock back and forth like Morgan [...]

“Daddy’s a present!?” Morgan says. I should say that no, I don’t have a present for him, but instead…

Oh, really?
<snipped several defensive statements that don’t really have anything to do with the fact that Vista is not here yet. Go ahead and read the rest.>

Here’s a picture of our refrigerator. Ash thinks she’s funny.
There is a picture of me very drunk at the top, right above the whiteboard pen.
Next to that is the wedding picture of the daughter of Ash’s best friend.
To the right of the whiteboard is Morgan and his Kindergarden teacher on the last day of school.

We got a new router/DSL modem yesterday. Our current DSL modem was in the process of dying a slow, painful death, so Ash and I decided to go looking for a new one. I took a look at the SBC web site, since we use SBC DSL service. I figured I would make sure that [...]

My birthday was last Wednesday, and I got a Starbucks card from my sister in the mail. Nice!
Ash and I got her drinking Starbucks when she visited us, and now she loves it just as much as we do. I keep hearing from people about how it sucks and how this or that other obscure [...]
