Something is very, very wrong. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, I’ll provide a small example. Today I pulled into the drive-through at one of the big three fast-food joints. This is not remarkable in and of itself, but off to the side I saw two of Greensboro’s finest, their motorcycles parked, talking [...]
Well, all’s well that ends well I suppose. I’m back home, safely, from Dallas, TX and that’s all that really matters. But, seriously, Friday night? I liked ta’could’a killed someone. Like, killed dead kind’a killed.
Things started out well enough: I left the office a little earlier than I planned, had a nice lunch with a [...]

… or how I spent my weekend.
This weekend was the second annual Titanic Open. This is a fencing tournament, hosted by the fencing club I’m a member of, for women and children only (get it). I’d go into greater detail about the whole even itself, but Woody said it quite expertly, and succinctly, here. For [...]
The more I see of Keith Olbermann, the more I like him. Here he comments on the President’s Rose Garden speech, last Friday, and his comment that it was “Unacceptable to think…”
The philosopher Voltaire once insisted to another author, “I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for [...]
A few days ago I made a post about fear and how it might be used to corrupt your common sense and subvert your reason. Thanks to my buddy Cory, I can now share with you a wonderful documentary that shows you the root of those fears; the seed of the false Destiny of the [...]
Gah, I live! The gods of the Internet have chosen to take my connection at home in the prime of its life and so I am, for all intents and purposes, incommunicado while in my house. The repair people won’t even be calling to schedule a time to come out and look at it for [...]
People? Yeah, they suck. The vast majority are ignorant, self-centered, and petty jack-asses.
On my commute this morning I was passing through a one horse town called Sandy Ridge, NC, just like I do every week day. Today, though, just on the outside of the town, I come across a large black snake worming its way [...]
If you have not done so yet, go and call your state Representative and tell them to support the amendment to preserve Network Neutrality. What is Network Neutrality, you ask? Probably only the single most important thing about the Internet. I’ll let the folks at MoveOn.Org explain, though.
Congress is now pushing a law that would [...]
Wow, it probably seems to everyone who reads this blog that fencing and, by extension, fitness have pretty much taken over my life. My last seven or eight posts have all either been entirely about fencing or fitness, or have mentioned one or both. They are a big part of my life these days, this [...]
