  • My annual bid for Pole Dancing as an Olympic Sport

    Which would you rather watch? This: Or This (ht Feral Irishman): Continue reading

  • In Memorium

    So David Bowie and Alan Rickman pass within a few days of each other. David Bowie’s music was, to a large extent, part of the soundtrack of my high school and college years; I truly enjoyed Alan Rickman’s work, starting of course with Die Hard.  However, my favorite Alan Rickman movie was “The January Man”… Continue reading

  • That noise coming out of congressmen's base….

    That ‘noise’ would be the opinions of the constituents and Congress’ job is to listen to them.  I’m usually not masochistic enough to listen to the State of the Union, but Mr B turned it on. My takeaways: He just handed Biden his Golden Parachute by putting him in charge of curing cancer?!? He would… Continue reading

  • I get the vote for Best Aunt Ever

    My nephew was home this past week before getting deployed overseas.  He is finishing his Navy Air Rescue training and I found out that he was lacking a good pocketknife.  With some consultation with Brad of Brad’s Knives, I chose the ZT 0562.  No speed assist, not automatic and a good blade length.  Solid knife.… Continue reading

  • Yep, I sure did….

    Having grown up with Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run, Dukes of Hazzard and any number of television shows that featured high speed chases and having done my share of thrilling car chases in the country, complete with taking cars off the end of trestle bridges, this pic did bring back some memories.  I definitely… Continue reading

  • God bless the 1980's

    Both the poster and the video are shamelessly borrowed from Angel over at The Lonely Libertarian.  I hadn’t seen the video in a while and I laughed the whole time.  She posted it on New Year’s Day and have to say it was a great way to start the year. I do know some folks… Continue reading

  • An executive order is not a law

    The complicit press once again is in cahoots–the liberals’ modus operandi of changing the definition of a word (started with Bill Clinton and the meaning of ‘is’, I think) is happening yet again.  I read that Obama is confident that his new ‘gun laws’ won’t violate the 2nd Amendment. Well, since anything he does without… Continue reading

  • High point of the day….

    So I’m not sure what this exactly says about my job when the high point of my day was crafting and sending an email that used the word ‘poop’ in it, legitimately.  Our computer system has a Guest request option.  It asks for the relationship to the requestor as well as the name, address, and… Continue reading

  • A New Year, A New Hope….

    Those who know me, know this past year has been one of challenges, personal and professional.  Here’s hoping the New Year will see some of those things resolved and good things happening. My main resolution for the new year is to reach back when people reach out.  Thanks to those who continued to reach out–just… Continue reading
