With the ordering of multiple units of QVCs item #H95000, our Christmas shopping is done for family, and those considered in exactly the same way as family. You know who you are. Watch for the big ol’ UPS truck the week of 12/7.
The tradition of the wreath is still somewhat bittersweet; when we [...]

My little bride and Elder Daughter received bouquets like this one yesterday. Somehow, it’s become a tradition that I send them flowers on the anniversary of Buddy’s death.
I’m delighted to be able to send them. I enjoy their sincere thanks for their beautiful flowers.

Loving me some November. Veteran’s Day is on Tuesday this year, so I’m taking off tomorrow. Bing! A four day weekend.

Washington Post Editorial Headline:
Vote!
‘It will make you feel big and strong.’
And, then, I came across this post referencing the WaPo piece, written with passion and eloquence that I can only dream of:

From the comment thread on this post from Anarchy in Your Head, this:
A man is none the less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years. — Lysander Spooner
If someone attempts to crowd ahead of you in line at the polls today, it wasn’t me.

It’s never too early to plan a Search for America Tour. And my little bride and I plan to hit the highways running driving in January. Destination: Hot Springs AR. Details, road blogging, fuel economy numbers, and Cracker Barrel reports are in your future.
And now, to the Wizard of Avis, to rent [...]

While visiting the Lawrence(KS) Journal-World website to get the link for the previous gridiron post, I paused for a moment on the story on the front page: Obama has received more contributions from Kansans than McCain.
