Letters to the Editor
Thursday, 31 January 2008 2:10 A GMT-05
When I was in college and for several years thereafter, I regularly wrote "letters to the editor", all of which were published. Most of these letters were in response to things I'd read in the paper that I disagreed with. In a very real

Blogging Is Its Own Reward
Wednesday, 30 January 2008 1:19 P GMT-05
I've belonged to Blog Catalog, a blog bookmarking site, for about a month now and I've noticed several generic-type blogs there that seem to exist for the sole purpose of making money. Such blogs have little to no content that indicates the b

CB Radio
Saturday, 26 January 2008 6:55 P GMT-05
Starting back in the mid 70s, CB radios became a big fad. Once pretty well confined to truckers, all sorts of people began buying radios for their cars, and some also got base stations for home use. I remember one of my friends' fathers got one
Separation of Marriage and State
Friday, 25 January 2008 6:50 P GMT-05

My Favorite Childhood Cartoons
Thursday, 24 January 2008 6:46 P GMT-05
I must be feeling nostalgic, as I recently wrote an entry about my favorite childhood board games. Now, I leave you with a post about my favorite childhood cartoons. The emphasize is on childhood cartoons, so I'm not including current favorites l
Odds and Ends

I can't think of anything specific to write about today, so I leave you with an assortment of odds and ends: Officials in St. Louis recently presented a bill that would ban swearing in bars, along with table-dancing, drinking contests and profan
What Does "Sex Positive" Mean?
Tuesday, 22 January 2008 10:47 A GMT-05
I recently joined Blog Catalog, on which I describe my blogs as being "sex-positive", among other tags. Though the term is self-explanatory to me, I've found that it isn't as clear to many others and there is confusion as to what it

Spirit in the Sky
Saturday, 19 January 2008 1:39 P GMT-05
While listening to the radio the other night, a favorite song from years ago came on the radio: "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum. This song, heard in several movies over the years, such as Apollo 13, embodies what I consider to be th

It's winter and at this time of the year, there is usually low humidity. And you all know what that means. That's right -- static electricity. I can remember being a kid and walking around the house, rubbing my socked feet across the carpe

Predictable Reaction
Thursday, 17 January 2008 2:40 A GMT-05
Did a herd of locusts hit the supermarket? No, we finally had some snow, and a herd of lemmings rushed to the store to get milk and bread. I don't get it -- why does snow make people suddenly get a taste for milk and bread? And why just plain

Thoughts on Thinking
Wednesday, 16 January 2008 2:02 P GMT-05
Sometimes, I'll ask a person what they're thinking about. Sometimes they tell me, but other times I've been told (in a non-sarcastic manner) "nothing". I don't get this -- how can a person not be thinking of something, even

What I'm going to write about is a sensitive topic; something I've hesitated to write about for some time, for fear of being misperceived. But it's been something eating at me, so here goes. As some of you know, I've had a job delive
Unmarried Candidates Need Not Apply?
Sunday, 13 January 2008 2:44 P GMT-05

Art Deco Artwork
Saturday, 12 January 2008 2:25 P GMT-05
I've always liked architecture from the Art Deco era, as my header image clearly shows. Art Deco is a style that is retro and futuristic looking, all at once. Recently while browsing, I found several examples of artwork from the Art Deco era,, do

Obama and Kennedy
Friday, 11 January 2008 11:33 A GMT-05
Though the primary season is upon us, I still haven't settled on a candidate. I know that I will vote for a Democrat, but beyond that, I have no clear preference. As of this writing, it seems as if the Democrat nominee will be either Obama or Cli
