At the point of a gun (UPDATED)
A friend shared this quote by Penn Jillette on Facebook, so I stole it. Er… “shared” it. I heartily agree with the main point that charity isn’t charity if compelled and being generous with other people’s time, property, or labor isn’t anywhere close to actual generosity. But the line that started me thinking (cue […]

Terrible Tuesday: Summer Edition
Ah, the lazy hazy days of summer. Hey! My days aren’t lazy! I demand a refund! Alas, one more week before I can become an official summer bum. This week we have Girl Scout Twilight Camp, which is a lot of fun, but also tons of work and exhausting. So bunch of links before I […]

If you would be free, act like it.
A free people does not allow it’s government to regulate soda sizes. A free people does not stand by while government bureaucrats randomly drug test 11 year olds. A free people doesn’t accept foolish regulations to shut down community pools. A free people doesn’t allow a hard working honors student to be jailed for failure […]

And even with nicknames and vague descriptions, I’m still sharing about their private lives. I particularly don’t want […]

Terrible Tuesday, the return
Today’s Tuesday was not terribly busy, because poor Bulldozer had a stomach bug. The thing about a hypo-sensitive kid is that he doesn’t get a lot of forewarning about bodily functions. So when he says he has to pee, he means right then. And by the time he feels the nausea, it’s almost too late […]

38 years of knowledge in one short blog post
Today is the anniversary of my birth. Much like the rest of this chaotic, crazy year, I’ve been busy herding my cat, er kids, and just barely making it to the next appointment. However, I feel I ought to say something to mark the occasion. First, thanks mom and dad for bringing me into this […]

Back with a bang (UPDATED)
(Note: This post will remain at the top of the page until the end of the give-away. Scroll down for newer posts.) Or a give away. The blog injuries have been healed, and although I’m still crazy busy, I need to write. And if I’m going to write, why shouldn’t I inflict it on the […]
