I was in the public library, quickly gathering up a few books, and I overheard two women talking. One of them was perfectly manicured and coiffed, with expensive clothes and well, the whole nine yards, probably including a […]

Over my family’s head, at any rate. After several sleepless nights, two conversations with the woman upstairs and another call to the police, I have decided to move.
I have been put in the middle of the whole mess. Or perhaps I put myself there. The women who lives above me is on Section 8 housing. […]

Who is crazier, Bush or Chavez? What a crazy world of extremism we live in! Seriously, who do you think is worse? I’m having a hard time with this one… It’s sorta like the game I play with myself called “Which Is Scarier?”. The fact that 1000 kids are infected with AIDS everyday or the […]

In spite of my constant discontent and scheming, I know I am right here, in this very apartment, for a reason. I think I have mentioned before that foster care is something that I am interested in. Interestingly, I am getting to experience it on a minature level of sorts.
My home has become the “after-school/weekend” […]

I just got back from Walmart, where I did our Pre-Approved By The Probation Officer shopping for the week. The cashier was very conscientious, putting all of the produce in the same bag, etc., instead of randomly throwing stuff together. We began to talk, and she told me that her evaluation would suffer because the […]

So whoopee, the Democratic Congress is here. I don’t know that I am all that excited. From where I sit, it doesn’t look like it is going to affect the course of the war much at all. They are talking about affordable prescription drugs and other nice things, but it is the war that I […]

It is embarrassing to say that as a Christian, I have never read the Bible. Sure, I’ve read the Gospels, some of Psalms, Proverbs and the breathtaking Song of Solomon. I have read a bit of Genesis and other bits and pieces while sitting bored in church as a kid. But I have never […]

I love these lyrics to O Holy Night.
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother,
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Wow. Have a blessed Christmas.

Do not watch around children, if you are offended by porn or admire the president.

I like where I work. I like the people. Except for constantly seeing Older Son’s probation officer, who stares at me like a damn idiot and says nothing. After this incident with Older Son, where I was suddenly put face to face with our legal system, I am finding it difficult to remain objective and […]
