My wife and I were taking it pretty easy this weekend. We had a bunch of stuff to do around the house but were in a procrastinating sort of mood, so we put the vast majority of the work off until next weekend, right before the party we were having at our house.
At about [...]

Can you force people to have a certain style of government and way of life and still refer to it as “democracy” and “freedom” without being ironic?
I’m just wondering.

The shingles arrived today. They are somewhat darker than what I imagined, but that is good. I think they will look really nice.
The roofers won’t start until Monday. I’m guessing they will be done by Wednesday at the latest. Which works out really good for me. I’m excited about it. [...]

Rev1 and his partners Real-eyes, J-high, and Dan Lisbe have started the cypher:dissident website. It is a work in progress but the store is open so you can get some really good cds. Send these cats your money. You will get some cds cheap and help these mcs keep from starving for [...]

Okay, today was a better day. I worked out my differences with my supervisors in a frank and professional manner. It felt good. Saturday, I had had a number of hot buttons of mine pushed in a very short period of time and I was less than calm during my discussion of [...]
