Friday Night Lights.

 
I sometimes joke that I waited 15 years to see my son playing under Friday night lights, but that never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be in the band. That somehow gets a chuckle when I tell it, but the reality is that as much as I enjoyed playing, and watching, [...]

Conservatives have few good choices for 2008.

Idiot of the Year Nominee #2…this one’s good!

Nominee #2 for the Idiot of the Year Award, is Judge Marilyn Patel of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (who would have thought, an idiotic court ruling from California.)  Why Judge Patel, you may ask, well this jewel of the judiciary has certified a class-action suit against Target Corp. because their web [...]

To Ernie, Skip & Pete…Farewell, and Thanks.

      
Today, I say goodbye to a group of friends I have never met, friends who don’t know that I exist, yet were in my home for the last 30 years.  The voices of Ernie, Skip and Pete were, and are, as familiar to me as the voices of my children and I will miss them. [...]
