Wounded blog
A variety of technical problems, life issues, and general mayhem have lead to blog silence. Right now, the only way I can blog is on my kindle. It’s a little better than typing on a phone, but not much. Hopefully, MTG will get my dashboard fixed so I can get back to blogging. cost viagra […]

Happy Independence Day, Texas
A few choice quotes on the finest state in the finest nation on this beautiful blue sphere: “Texas history is a varied, tempestuous, and vast as the state itself. Texas yesterday is unbelievable, but no more incredible than Texas today. Today’s Texas is exhilarating, exasperating, violent, charming, horrible, delightful, alive.” Edna Ferber “I am forced […]

For Andrew Breitbart
Today begins National Poetry Month, and I had planned to take advantage of the occasion for some easy blogging. Then I read this morning that Andrew Breitbart dies at 43. He leaves behind a wife and four children very nearly the ages of my own precious people. Andrew (I just can’t call him Mr. Bretibart, […]

Terrible Tuesday, Security Issue
The Thompson household has been hit with a stomach bug. It’s delightful. Sprite has gone through it, Satchmo and Little Miss are down. I’m kinda hoping Bulldozer gets it and gets over with it before Thursday because that’s homeschool day at the zoo and we’ve already paid. So this Terrible Tuesday we’re actually staying put! So… […]

Whys and Wherefores of Lent for Protestants
More so than in past years, I’ve noticed more questions from my fellow Protestants about why we would or even should observe Lent. That, of course, ties into a larger question of how and why we observe a liturgical calendar at all. And yes, even the people who just shuddered at the term “liturgical calendar” […]

Terrible Tuesday, the Cat Edition

The kind where you find out your cat needs his Magnificent Tail amputated a.nd then find out that may not be possible because he may have “significant heart disease.” That sort of Cat Edition. Sigh This is an all-visual Terrible Tuesday. I’ve got no energy […]

Terrible Tuesday
I’m busy, busy, busy and I’ve got a lot to do. So I’m just gonna jump into links. And boy howdy do I have links. If anyone tells you government regulations don’t cost jobs, first kick them in the shin and second show them this. Costly Obamacare requirements lead to hospitals laying off healthcare workers. […]

Rights, powers, and too many dang debates
I have not been watching many of the Republican debates. First, there are so dang many of them, and they are barely touching the most serious issues our nation faces (15% real unemployment, $15 Trillion in debt, $1 Trillion deficit, etc.). Second the Republicans as a whole have to be the most inept politicians ever. […]

Terrible Tuesday
It’s the first Terrible Tuesday of 2012. The first Monday hit me with a sucker punch of 5 hours to do a stupid math lesson that wasn’t even that hard, it just required a little effort, and are your freaking kidding me? 2012 is a starting out on the wrong foot. Do not mess with […]
