Over the weekend as I drove around town, I saw that flags were at half-mast all over town. Since then, I confirmed that President Bush had ordered flags to be flown at half-mast through yesterday in honor of the Virginia Tech dead. While it’s sad that those 32 people died, and while I don’t have [...]

Have You Heard From Me Lately?
Posted in blog, Emelia, Life on March 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday we almost had a fallen baby. The changing pad was no longer squarely on the table it’s sitting on, as more and more stuff was getting crammed onto the far edge. And Emelia likes rolling, so in a flash while I was reaching for the new diaper, she rolled toward me and both she [...]
Pic Pain In The Patuchus
Posted in blog on January 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Although the picture in my last post showed up without difficulty last night, this morning it was no go. I’m not sure what the problem is, but I have to wonder if it’s being blocked because the source for the photos is a “rival” site, yahoo. After all, all the links in my book reviews [...]
Housekeeping
Posted in blog on October 28, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Been making a few changes to the blog over the past few days, adding tags, updating some of my lists, and installing a favicon (I’m not certain I’ll keep this one, but I had to start somewhere). Could be a couple of other minor tweaks upcoming, but nothing major.
Switching to Haloscan
Posted in blog on August 30, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I got comment spammed last night in a big way (apparently it’s possible for shitheads to automatically generate spam comments onto a blogpost, and I deleted about eight before I got really pissed off), so on a going-forward basis I’m switching to Haloscan for comments — the link that will appear below any post will [...]

I’ve been exchanging posts with a number of cool people, both on their sites and my own. But they don’t provide their e-mail address, and given my desire to remain at least semi-anonymous, I’ve been reluctant to make my regular e-mail (which has my name on it) public. As of today, however, I’ve created an [...]
Obsidian Wings

I just wanted to spend a moment to encourage folks to check out Obsidian Wings (it’s on my Blogroll), a collective of political-thinking intelligent folk, ranging from liberal to traditional (not neo-) conservative. While I relate most to hilzoy’s perspective, there’s good stuff from all of them, often on significant subjects to which I’d otherwise [...]
Meeting on a Tuesday Night
Posted in blog on April 21, 2005 | 9 Comments »
It started when I stumbled across another blog that I really liked. I added it to my list of other blogs, a.k.a. blogroll. A few days later, the author of that site posted on my itty-bitty new site, and damn was I flattered! I figured he could track who had linked/posted to his site, but [...]
Taking Stock
Posted in blog on April 12, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
So I figured it was time to take a look at what I’m doing with this blog: 1. Especially of late, I seem to be doing more “what I’m doing” type of posts than I had anticipated. I expected the vast majority of my posts to be along the lines of “what I’m thinking” instead. [...]
Tom Tomorrow

Tom Tomorrow does a weekly political cartoon that I read faithfully. Gotta say that I was a bit surprised with his cartoon for this week. On bankruptcy. Title is Moral Bankruptcy (no biggie — there are only so many ways to be clever with the subject). First panel refers to credit card companies “handing out [...]
