Another New Look for the Site
Some people do crossword puzzles when they’re bored. Some people knit. I redesign my website. Actually, I stole the theme from another website and added my own header. It’s not a trivial task, but nearly as complex as the one I gleaned from, which was an enhancement of the default theme. Anyway, let me know […]

Lynn Swann for Governor
Fox Sports is reporting that Lynn Swann, former Pittsburgh Steeler and Hall of Famer, is going to announce that he’s running for the office of governor of Pennsylvania on the Republican ticket. This is a very intersting development. I have no idea of Mr. Swann’s political views, although I do remember when he was on […]

Tyranny Retreating
One more shadow of prohibition has been thrown out the door. South Carolina is finally allowings bars to use full-sized bottles of liquor bottles, instead of little mini-bottles used on airplanes. It never ceases to amaze me how many stupid infringements the people allow the civil government to make on them. The mini-bottles were a […]

“If the doctor doesn’t take off the lump…
…from your arm, mom, will your whole body turn into one big lump? Like if it just keeps getting bigger and bigger?” Serious question from a four year old about my surgery tomorrow morning to remove a lipoma from my arm. “No, my whole body won’t turn into a lump. But, it does need to […]

I Feel Happy! I Feel Happy!
Since I last wrote, we went to Indiana and back. We have gone through ear infections, pinkeye, and colds. Thyroid problem scares and “watching and waiting.” Late nights at work, sometimes even on Tom’s days off. Eighteen windows replaced. Ridiculous diarrhea for one child, ridiculous constipation for another. Crazy messy house, immaculately clean house. Library […]

Alito is Just Alright With Me
If we can judge a nomination by the fear it brings out of the liberal pundits, then Samuel Alito is a wonderful candidate. Liberal author David Corn seems to petrified that Alito is the perfect conservative judge. He is concerned that with Alito, the democrats will be unable to sidetrack the issues: There is no […]

Australian Table Wines
I finally found the audio for one of my favorite Monty Python skits, the review of Australian wines (1.3 mb). Yes, it’s stupid, but it’s funny. I’ve got some other skits ripped from some of their other albums, and I’ll be putting them up online in the future. BTW, Australia has had the last laugh, […]

Sweet Satellite Hurricane Videos

Red Hot Coffee
What is small, red, round and is just what the doctored ordered? No, it’s not that little pill that you now have to ask your pharmacist for by name. The answer is Red Hots cinnamon candies, which were created by Ferrara Pan in the 1930s. If you’re looking for a cure for those boring coffee […]

The Namesake of R.C. Jr’s Son
One of my favorite blogs is that of Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr. Reading it gives me courage to live a joy-filled life, not in fear of others (Gal 1:10 ) . He and his wife, Denise, recently adopted a baby. His blog entry about the adoption and the baby’s namesake put tears in my eyes. […]

Sarah’s Biscotti Recipe
Since my post, I have worked to perfect my own biscotti recipe. (According to this link, Biscotti in the US can be traced back to Christopher Columbus.) My recipe is inspired by the recipes for Biscotti di Prato from Mary Ann Esposito’s book Ciao Italia: Bringing Italy Home and Mark Bittman‘s Biscotti from How to […]
