Today we were going home from a little shopping trip. We bought some school supplies for Morgan. He’s going to school in a few weeks. We also got him an Airport Extreme card for his Mac Mini (I know I sometimes call it a miniMac). We got it because we wanted to move his computer [...]

Ash was recently telling me about her visit to her doctor on Friday. I took off work early to watch Morgan while she went to the doctor. After waiting for an hour or so to see her doctor (she was running behind because of a problem with a previous patient), she got some new prescriptions [...]

“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6)” (J.K. Rowling) is coming soon. We just got our email letting us know it is in Mesquite, TX, and will be here tomorrow. When, we don’t know, but it should be here by 7 p.m.
It should be a nice read. I have enjoyed all the other [...]

We finally broke down and got him a computer of his own. I was tired of being kicked off my iBook all the time so he could go look at construction cranes, or as Morgan likes to call them, tartuta cwanes. Plus, he’s getting his crap and food and drinks and stuff all over it. [...]

When I come home from work these days, Morgan will drop whatever he’s doing and come over to say hi to me. Well, not really say hi, more come over and look me over, searching all around me to see if I have a box or package. If he sees I have a box or [...]

I don’t blog about Democratic party or so called liberal blogs. They aren’t saying anything worth commenting on. I subscribe to several, but for the life of me, I can’t find anything they write that’s worth commenting on. It’s all irrelevant to me or so extremely trivial I don’t care. I’m pretty sure that they [...]

Originalism Defined:
An e-mail from Barbara Ledeen:
As Senator Specter and others have attacked originalism or constitutionalism, it might be helpful for everybody to have this explanation. It comes from Judge Bork’s opening statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 15, 1987.

Go read it first.
Why the hell was I opposed [...]

We’ve been showing Morgan a social story about his new school, explaining what’s going to happen when he goes to first grade. The first sentence is “I will be going to a new school.”
A social story is a way of preparing Morgan, or any other child with autism, for something that will happen in the [...]

Our Veterans Deserve Better:
[...]
The money problems are evident to most of us reading the DFA blog and even to those who visit VA clinics and medical facilities. Clinics across America are closing, appointments are delayed, veterans are being charged more for their care, and they are being denied coverage of non-combat related injuries and medical [...]

Putting His Money Where His Mouth Is:
<…>
Let this show just how serious progressives are about national security – even while believing, as many left-of-center Americans and a growing number of responsible conservatives do, that the Bush administration has thoroughly bungled it. Whatever your political stripe, the willingness to sacrifice – far more than blowhard attempts [...]
