Memorial Day, 2017. A day of remembrance. I can’t say I’ve had a number of relatives die in support of the Republic. I have one great (5 greats) that dies during the Civil War, John Hendrix Goodheart, that died in Tennessee in 1862. I know he was a Union soldier. Can’t say whether he died …

Day 19,613
Weekends. Weekends are a little weird, and three-day weekends have more potential for weirdness. Memorial Weekend here in Lawrence, Kansas also coincides with this year’s Busker Fest, which means downtown Lawrence is chock full of street performers and patrons of street performers. I have a ride to a dancer/performance artist from Boston today. Nice young …

Day 19,612
Looking for the TPS reports , with the new covers… and my lack of flair. So, I’m a little pissed off now, after getting into a confrontation with some self-righteous piece of shit about Christianity. Damn… it pisses me off and I want to unload, but I’m going to contain myself. My faith is my …

“All in all, it’s just another brick in the wall” – Pink Floyd So, it’s Friday, May 26, 2017. Looks like the Washington Post is going to have another breaking overnight story about this administration. Yeah… they’ve got their scapegoat. Just watch. Soon the entire Trump family is going to turn on Kushner, and he’ll …

Day 19,610
Just saw Shaquille O’Neill’s right foot on national television. I really didn’t need to see that. There are any number of things that I have seen and likely will see in my life that, in the end, I’m going to wish I hadn’t seen. I guess it’s safe to say that there are going to be …

Day 19,609
Time to throw a few quick words on the page, with the goal of satisfying my writing commitment for the day. Get this thing wrapped up before my wife wakes up… she slumbers gently on the couch after a long day, which included shots for our baby girl, Freya. I have a feeling Freya will not …

Day 19,608
It’s rather bizarre when people question your patriotism. I’m rather proud to be an American. I may not be as overt about it as some others I know, but I know where I was born, I know where I was raised, and how I was raised, and I believe I was born in one of …

Day 19,607
It’s a Monday here in Leawood, and I’m wrapping up the first day of my Unified Communications class. As I open up my console, I’m surprised to notice the number of failed login attempts. It’s quite a surprise, as I guess my blog has become quite the target for those with malicious intent. Over sixteen …

Day 19,606
I’m beginning to understand why the first ten amendments to the Constitution are presented in the order in which they are. The First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the …

Day 19,605
There’s an old expression that goes, “Never get into an argument with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience”. Let me tell you, folks, the Dunning-Kruger effect is in full bloom in the United States these days. For those that don’t know, DKE, is, at its most basic form, the …
