Blog of Doom

This morning I mentioned a rant of epic proportions coming. I’ve decided to wait on that until this crisis is over. The main thing now is to get everyone rescued, then start asking questions.

Yes, I was making up for not posting anything this week.
I have a Moleskin full of other ideas for posts. Coming soon.

Ash got me a pair of Moleskine notebooks for my birthday. She got them after my birthday, but still they were my present. For those of you who know me well, you will know that I love stationery. I love paper in most of its forms. I collect business and calling cards, for example. I [...]

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 [...]

“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.

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:
<…>

Whatever your political stripe, the willingness to sacrifice – far more than blowhard attempts [...]
