I never get tired of showing her off. Here’s one that shows just how much you have to concentrate to get the blue crayon shading just right.

Lately it seems that Americans have decided that WWII was an example of a well-waged war and that we did everything right. I have heard many times (sorry I can’t cite any specific instances) that there wasn’t any dissent and that Americans just all pitched in and did their part. With that comes [...]

My Mom gets these goofy right-wing chain mails all the time and then forwards them on to me. Here is the latest:

So I’m vested. Whew. Now what?

I have mentioned before that I play baseball seasons of Freecell. [...]

…way too much time at the computer. But I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t or can’t engage in other pastimes. So here I am.
Went to the Dr today, got x-rays on my arm which has been aching and there were no problems there. So she took blood to check for [...]
