Or, in this case, the difference between democrat and republican. Today, I listened to two different candidates for their party’s presidential nominations withdraw from the races. The differences in the speeches these two men gave were vast. John Edwards spoke of his vision, his life’s purpose, the issues that had been the pinnacle of his… Continue reading The Difference Between Day and Night
Or so I thought when I awoke this morning. Believe it or not, here where the jokes are that we can count the days with sunshine on our fingers and toes the sun is shining brightly. That having been said, weather is a huge part of this wonderful (Does italics donate sarcasm in writing? I… Continue reading Just Another Winter Day
I am not a believer in litagious behaviour. I do think that our country would be in better shape if the answer to every alleged wrong was not a law suit. That having been said, if I were a registered democrat in either Michigan or Florida, I would be clamoring for a lawyer or the… Continue reading How do you feel if you are a democrat in Michigan or Florida?

Saturday was the South… Continue reading Political Junkies Take Heed
Yes, I admit, willingly, to my children that I am a geek. I graduated fourth in my class from a high school class of just over 400. I graduated from a major university with a 3.4 while tutoring for the athletic department, volunteering through the Catholic church on campus and having pledged a national sorority… Continue reading A New Side to My Geekdom
