Are you kidding me?  Don’t get me wrong.  I like cats for their usefulness in catching mice and such, but a national day for cats?  What the hell?  I’ve contributed more to society than catching mice, dirtying a litter box, and making cat ladies look like cats because they are always covered in so much…

I am a hypocrite.  At least I know it.  I am one who preaches the dangers of technology and how we should not rely on it so much.  In the same breath, I embrace it.  I have some of the latest technologies; drive cars that have thousands of times more technology than the Space Shuttles…

No, not literally.  I was putting up the trusses for the barn expansion.  All was going good with the 2x8s.  Time to put the 2x4s up on the roof to prepare for metal.  That’s when I remembered they didn’t have 2x4x20s.  They only had 2x4x16s.  That pretty much ruined my good luck on that.  I…

I do not know if I will ever understand this generation coming up.  The boys do not have school today – some professional day for the teachers.  We let them stay up until 10:30 last night.  Both boys are up at 6:00AM.  What?!  That is an extra day to sleep in!  Back when I was…
