I talk a good game.
- Two More Hand Surgery Videos From The Archive
As some of you may recall, I severely fractured my index finger on Thanksgiving night. This wasn’t a matter of a mere crack in a bone. This was me unintentionally turning the base of the most important finger (aside from my opposable thumb) on my right hand (and I am a righty) into [...]
- Breaking The “BBQ Rules” Yet AGAIN And Talking Politics - #dearcongress
If you are unfamiliar with what the “BBQ Rules” are, you might want to read this blog entry before going any further. Also, before proceeding, you might want to know that I am about to talk politics. I am about to give a very general and brief, yet definitive, statement on the current [...]
- Blogging By Candlelight (A Tornado In Phoenix?)
What a day.
As I write this, it is 10:39 PM on Thursday, January 21st. I’m noting the date and time because, who knows when this will actually make it online. The power is currently out at my house and all over North Phoenix. This includes traffic control lights, as I found out [...]

- A Christian’s Take On Pat Robertson’s Comments Re: The Haiti Earthquake
In this video blog, I rant about Pat Robertson’s comments regarding the Haiti earthquake and how it was supposedly a result of the people of Haiti making a “pact with the devil” hundreds of years ago. The rant is a bit disjointed, but I believe I still manage to make my point regarding the [...]
- The More I Learn, The Less I Understand
I am the oldest I have ever been. That’s a rather obvious, and somewhat ridiculous, statement. At any given moment I could speak or write that phrase, it would be true, yet false a moment later. But I’m not intending to get philosophical about this. I’m stating it in the most [...]
- Thanks For Answering My Question, Fortune Cookie
As some of you may have noticed, I have made a point to return to daily blogging in 2010. The decision was made for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that I miss writing… or at least the kind of writing I enjoy. I look back over the last [...]
- “Some People Have Strange Gifts”
I recently sent an email to a friend, applauding him for his boldness in speaking his mind. I thanked him for saying many of the things I’d like to say in the arenas which he says them in, if only I wasn’t concerned of being mistaken for being angry. The thing I think [...]
- Today
Today I was reminded of how effortless it is when it is real and natural, and happens on its own.
Today I was reminded, yet again, that New Years is just another day.
Today I was reminded to take each day as a whole new existence, and discard the prior 24 hours.
Today I was reminded that my [...]
- Breaking The “BBQ Rules” For A Moment (And Talking Politics… Kinda)
When in social situations of most types, there is a pair of very simple (yet very important) rules that I adhere to without fail. They are: “Do not discuss politics” and “Do not discuss religion.” I call these the “BBQ Rules,” as they are a wise suggestion when attending very mixed gatherings such [...]
