… Jesus wants me to go on Camino. He keeps sending me these little signs, like the friendly Episcopalian I met at a Catholic Church who told me about the Camino he and his wife made. I mean really, the odds of that encounter. I enjoyed all his magnificent stories and when he got up to leave he said “You know, you are already a peregrino. The minute you decide to make the journey your pilgrimage starts. You’re saving money and training... Read more
… I get some of my best ideas bellied up to a bar with a pint in hand. It was Jesus Himself who told me to go on Camino over a nice frothy Guinness. So there I was, enjoying a nice full pour of Brother Thelonious Ale [which tastes like chocolate milk with a ABV of 9.3% so be careful], discussing with a friend how to bring my latest scheme plans into fruition. For some time I had been toying... Read more
… Mrs. Digital Hairshirt is coming for a weekend visit. I thought it would be a fun idea to take her to Occupy Charlotte’s ‘tent city’. You know. For laughs. Patsy: What will you drink if you stop drinking? Eddie: I shall drink water. Patsy: [Blank look] Eddie: It’s a mixer, Patsy, we have it with whisky. Read more
… A recent parent-teacher conference has uncovered that my son is not very organized at school. He is not writing down all his assignments in his planner. This is preventing him from remembering when and what is due and has resulted in a few incomplete grades. Not acceptable. So a proper punishment needed to be devised should he continue to fail writing down his work. Me: I need you to write down your assignments every day. The Boy: I can... Read more
This shit has to stop. Is this how we solve problems now-a-days… Apparently if you are whiny college kid, the most effective way to solve problems and express frustration when things don’t go your way is to have a property destroying hissing fit and temper tantrum. Read more
… though I’d dress them more fashionably and wouldn’t be caught dead with that perm. I jest. I think they are a lovely family. Michelle Duggar announced recently that she and her family are expecting their 20th child. Now the poor woman has to defend herself against some of the nastiest comments I ever read. For heaven’s sake, this is someone’s wife and mother… not the Octomom. She and her husband are a loving couple devoted to their family; why... Read more

… Quicker than the lottery, the surest bet to instant wealth is to make an accusation of sexual harassment and misconduct against someone. Claims of sexual harassment have become so passe that it’s a common and perfectly acceptable political tool and a means to quickly discredit an opponent. Because of our warped media-styled justice system, where the press and popular opinion get to determine a person’s innocence or guilt, sexual harassment lawsuits are a means to tarnish a reputation, cast...

… Most kids have a laundry list of wants already written out by the time Halloween rolls around. Not my son. No, that would be too easy. I told him if he doesn’t hurry up and tell me what he wants for Christmas he’s getting whatever’s left on the shelf Christmas Eve at the corner gas station. I hope he likes 5 Hour Energy, motor oil, and beef jerky. One evening we were watching TV and he saw it! A... Read more
