It’s father’s day this weekend and I will be with neither my boys nor my father. I will miss them terribly, just like I do every day.

Memories: Found On Road Dead

January 29, 2007 – 1:14 pm

My father bought a new pick-up truck in 1974. I grew up knowing that truck. Long story short, he bequeathed that truck to me in 1990. For the next six years, I drove that truck from middle America to the right, left, south, and north of all the continental united states. I even dragged it [...]

The Ubiquitous PAS 78

November 27, 2006 – 9:50 am

I’ve had a copy of the PAS 78 since 27 June 2006. Had Derek Featherstone not mentioned anything, I would not have taken this photo. The terms and conditions aside, I couldn’t resist to show off my two copies.

I found myself defending Shakespeare today after nearly ten years of not caring for the man, or his works.

Reflection of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

January 6, 2006 – 11:51 pm

Originally written in Spring 1996
Alice definitely has something against authority figures or something against the fact that they are authority figures, when in fact they are no smarter then she. She finds that she doesn’t want them, however she finds that when one appears by themselves she gives them the respect they deserve. She may [...]

Jack’s Burden

January 6, 2005 – 11:38 pm

Originally written in Spring 1996
Robert Penn Warren, in All the King’s Men, uses the crumbling of a political regime as background for Jack Burden’s search for self-confidence and self-esteem, which were really steps in his search for himself.

New Year’s Blog

January 1, 2004 – 6:36 am

Last night I went out with the rest of the world to celebrate the last year meeting the New Year. There were I’m sure over 100 people in a small townhouse in a downtown questionable part of DC, but of course very trendy and well decorated.
