Wow, so much time, so little done. That’s all I’m going to say about that! What can I say? I mean, I started writing this big ol’ ball o’ nothin’ way back in 2001. Back then, only weirdos were blogin’ and back then it was “E/N” (Everything/Nothing). Perhaps in such a small circle, that’s how [...]

Here in California on the November ballot there was Proposition  8. In it was the constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman. Thus the entire motivation for this amendment was to exclude homosexuals from the legal and emotional ceremony.  I had high hopes that people of California had finally arrived [...]

Alright, pops is in ICU and should be leaving in a couple days. Ryan went to see him and the doctor told dad…you’ll never guess…that if he wants to live, he’s got to stop drinking. I guess they are going to do a scan on his heart with radioactive die or whatever they do. Corey [...]
