I should have known when the clock struck midnight, signaling the close of 2004 and the arrival of 2005, just what kind of a year this would be. We’d spent the evening with friends in Maryland, watched the Gators lose but overall, had a wonderful time. Shortly after midnight...

No political correctness here! Merry freakin’ Christmas. Allow me a moment to get on my soapbox and announce that this whole political correct holiday thing is utter and complete garbage. I’ve not yet talked to one person that actually has a problem with calling a Christmas tree as such....

Well, we made our first Thanksgiving meal today. It was fun. Not fun like shopping with someone else’s credit card fun but more, fun like washing every pot I own 3 times. Okay, it wasn’t that bad. Spending time with family is always great and that I mean sincerely....

I remember when gas was less than $1.00 a gallon. Yeah yeah I know about all you people out there who laugh at my youth while thinking back to the days of 50 cent gasoline, or 15 cent gasoline, or, hell, the horse and buggy days. But back when...

It’s ironic to write this post on Sept 11. Four years ago as we all watched the events unfold it felt, for me atleast, like there would never be another day like Sept 10th. I believed that we’d never get past it, move on, and feel secure again....

I fear we live in a new day of infamy. Nearly 4 years ago our world changed. When one mentions the numbers 9/11 no one questions on which eleventh of September one is referring. And yet, we have a new day. The 29th of August will be remembered this...
