A truly righteous birthday present from my Bourbon buddies, Aunt Bea and Uncle Michael. And it came out of the box loaded up with Elijah Craig. Thanks a bunch, you guys! To those of you out there in need of a hero,… Read More ›
NOTE: This post was written in rage, and originally published on March 12, 2017. I deleted it within hours, not in the mood for a social media barrage from both sides of the administration’s loudest supporters and haters. Like them though, I… Read More ›
One of the reasons I went to Baltimore this week was to see my son perform in a community theatre presentation of the horror / musical Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. Henry has been active in Baltimore theatre for many years… Read More ›
For a long time, my biggest problem with the Federal Government has been its inability to get any meaningful work done for the American people. I attribute this problem to both major parties making their sole objective blocking all initiatives of… Read More ›
We were a 2 car, 2 driver household. A change to one driver’s health status made both of our cars not amenable to this life altering event. Ease of entry and exit became a new requirement, as well as the need for… Read More ›

Since my high school years (a very long time ago), I’ve always liked writing with fountain pens. In the last 10 to 15 years that interest grew more serious and I started purchasing pens off the web, upgrading a step up… Read More ›
I’m proven wrong yet again. Trump survived the Republican Convention. And Hilary has a lock as well on the Democratic Convention, with Bernie’s support. I like to think that the majority of Trump voters are Trump voters only to end the status… Read More ›
This post is aimed squarely at the wealthy and arrogant self-proclaimed aristocracy, in government or not, that is running the United States of America. Your bargained wealth and political power has successfully locked up enough principles of democracy to where one… Read More ›
