The following is a portion of a back and forth on facebook this afternoon on a post concerning Santorum. Apparently some on the right consider Santorum to be Jesus. I'm Keith. I really do not know Thomas, nor do I want to know Thomas.

Keith: Thomas, being truly socialist would… Read full post »

Okay, so I used the old title ploy to sucker you into reading. Well, it worked didn't it? I was in the woods. I was cavorting. I was with a hot blonde. Sue me.

The daughter is home from school and this is the second trip we've taken to Lake Mineral… Read full post »

UPDATE: 

Now we know why I don't post much. The lottery I won was becoming my daughters father. Many have read this and thought I was being literal about winning a lottery. Nope. Figurative. No 'real' lottery ever won here. My daughter is far better than all the lucre in the… Read full post »

After the arrival of me and my older brother (I suspect said sibling will be the subject of a future post), Dad struggled a bit in finding work that he was passionate about and felt he could stay with long term. He variously sold insurance, worked for a vending machine company, sold… Read full post »

He was always one of those self-starting, self-directed, fiercely independent types. His gestation was the driving force behind the marriage of his parents. He wasn't a bastard child, but in the end, he was treated like one. He left home at age 15 to ride the circuit of the small horse race… Read full post »

I was listening to the radio on the way to work this morning. Apparently some groups want to ban the use of the word obese, especially when used in relation to the youth of our nation. The word is not the problem. It is a valid, descriptive term. Regrettably, I too… Read full post »
