Reality Strikes Again
I drive by a house on my work to work a lot lately. It’s a nice house on a nice plot of land. It’s around a farm, so it’s possible these people farm the land, not sure. In the front yard of the home, they proudly fly their Confederate Flag. I’m a staunch proponent of … Continue reading Reality Strikes Again
Opposites Attract
But …. Do they? Sure, Paula Abdul sang the song “Opposites Attract”, but do they? Let’s think about magnets. Yes, these opposites do indeed attract.

I’ve Been Had
But not just me. Nope. You’ve been had too. We’ve all been had. See, many years ago, decades even, the country needed something. We needed something to believe in. And we found something.

Never Have I Ever
As 2024 comes to an end and I think about the year ahead, I’m thinking about things I haven’t done. Maybe 2025 will see me doing new things. I’ve never eaten a wrap. I’ve had burritos and enchiladas but never had a wrap. Nothing against them, just never made one and there were always other … Continue reading Never Have I Ever
