From time to time, I need to remind myself of what my expectations of blogging are. They are now, and always have been, to leave a piece of me behind, and not for anybody in particular, other than family. There are so many things that I wish I could discuss with my grandparents. I wonder…
Two Things I Learned Over The Weekend
If you are a teenage white boy from Kentucky, and you want to go to a Right to Life march in D.C., and if you are standing anywhere waiting for your bus, and if while waiting, a bunch of radicals walk up screaming obscenities and beating drums... lay down on the sidewalk and assume the fetal position.…
Resolutions.
I meant to rack my brain on some awesome new year's resolutions for 2019, but I'm pretty happy where I am right now. Maybe the proper word is content. So, almost a week into this new year, I got nothing, so I'll go with the generic resolutions of years past... Lose some weight. Play nicely…

But chess can be quite difficult to play well. A beginner will never sit across from you, and dominate…
You Win, You Win, You… Win.
Nagging works. Not at first, mind you, but like a slow grinding wheel, over time, little by little... Why do you have old civil war statues everywhere? Why do you bring God up all the time? Why do you question global warming? Why can't I kill my baby? Why can't folks from other countries come…
