Miers Withdrawal

Friday, October 28th, 2005

The politics continue post Miers withdrawal from consideration for the Supreme Court. I love how the Democrats are trying to just let the Republicans kill each other over this.

“There was not one Democrat who said she should withdraw,” Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said. She was one of many Senate Democrats articulating that point on [...]

Jihad Against Danish Newspaper

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

I am sure that lots of blogs are linking to this story about Muslims upset over some Muhammad cartoons. Certainly, it isn’t slipping past Michelle Malkin. But I think at the root of the whole story is further proof of how wacky many of these people are. To me, rather than information [...]

Switchfoot and CD Copy Protection

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

It appears as though, Switchfoot isn’t happy about the copy protection on their new CD. This article on blogcritics about Switchfoot and copy protection gives a pretty accurate picture of what’s going on and information on how to get around it. I have tried CDEX now on my WinXP box and it works [...]

Of Hospital Stays, Recovery and Other Such

Monday, October 17th, 2005

Grayson was released from the children’s hospital on Thursday night just as I was mid-way through dealing with the stomach crud that I had gotten from him. The nearly hour long drive home from the hospital was a test of my endurance the likes of which I haven’t had in a long time. [...]

Another Scottish Rite Visit

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005

Well, we’d managed to make it nearly a year and a half without a visit to the hospital but in a matter of hours we went from Grayson doing fine to being in serious trouble. I don’t think I have ever known of a stomach sickness that makes you throw up so much. [...]

Ghosted

Monday, October 10th, 2005

Every year it happens before I have a chance to mount a proper preemptive strike, a sheet a paper with a ghost on it appears along with some candy. The note tells you that you have to “ghost” or “phantom” some of your other neighbors. In the past, I’d seen a single “pass [...]

More Reverse Descrimination?

Sunday, October 9th, 2005

In what shouldn’t surprise anyone, a white Republican state (Tennessee) representative was rejected from full membership in the state’s black caucus. Again, when there is a group that limits its membership to just white or just men, there is always public outcry and condemnation. I just thought it was important to point [...]

The Pump is in the House

Monday, October 3rd, 2005

After 4 or 5 classes, countless fights with our previous insurance company and then changing jobs, we finally have obtained a Cozmo Insulin Pump for Grayson. Saturday we had our pump review class and we hooked him up on it using a saline solution. If he’s able to tolerate toting the thing around [...]

Even More Soccer Photos

Sunday, October 2nd, 2005

I published even more soccer photos on the site — these from yesterday’s (Oct 1st) game. I think the plan is, that I will leave all these pictures out there for a few months, and then I will create a “best of” version that will be available long-term.
