Is the measure of a man his inclination or his action?  Is his overall value based on what he does, or what he first wants to see.  If it is inclination, then we are all damned to be nothing.  When one hears car tires squeelling, and no wreck occurs, why is it we let out a breath of disapointment.  Yet when the wreck occurs we rush to help those ( Read more... )

So damn tired of the health care debate.  Having our government form an insurance company isn't going to help the problem.  Want reform, start with the overhead.  Malpractice must be addressed, as it is the largest bill doctors have to pay.  Almost half of what they make goes there, so they have to make a lot to cover it.  Cut that cost down and ( Read more... )

The world has lost a great craftsman.  I have been privilaged enough to admire one of his pieces, in the Smithsonian at that.  Sad thing is, the American great of woodworking passes, and I find out through a British publication, 10 days after.  Farewell Sam Maloof.

I realize of late what a wonderful thing LJ can be, and how under utilized it is for me.  I really do prefer LJ to twitter/facebook/myspace.  I really don't know why I haven't been truly utilizings it's potential.   Going to have to change that.  Only one person reads this anymore I think, and that's ok, it's not the point of having it.  So many ( Read more... )

So very much has transpired since I last wrote here.  Out apartment flooded from the above apartments toilet, we've moved back into the old house, Rydia has turned 1, I've finished my semester, we've been to D.C., we've made friends, we've lost friends, we've been in more shit than I care to recant, and now our summer is just up in the air.  One ( Read more... )

So, I realize that I fail to use this website to it's fullest capacity as I don't post nearly as often as I should.  Even though I've been busy, I've mostly been lazy.  I do have problems communicating, and I really do want to socialize a bit more, so I'm going to make another concerted effort to post more commonly.  I want to rant on so many ( Read more... )

So, at 7 months and 4 days, our little Rydia has discovered that she has the ability to crawl.  Marvelous little thing isn't she?  It's been a blah day, but at least she is always a little ray of sunshine.

So, since it's been for ever since I made a post that matters, thought I would update while I have 10 minutes till my next class, which is really a lab.  So, for starters, Rydia (my beautiful and wonderful daughter) is doing so amazingly well.  One day I will post pictures in here, so just sit tight.  She can stand up on her own, takes steps while ( Read more... )

Yet another reason I don't like the 'church'.  I mean come on, really?

And at a whomping 7 weeks (damn near to the minute), little Rydia has figured out how to roll from her belly to her back.   She's now attempting to do it again, but she knows how to tuck that arm up now.  She is so cute, I need to post more pictures on here, I should figure out how to post pictures on here.
