Bill Cosby tells a funny (naturally) story about how when his kids were little, they used to think he was lying when he would tell them how mean their Grandparents (his parents) were when he was a boy. After all, Grandma and Grandpa slather them with kisses and presents so why should they believe that [...]

As I wade through my backlog of email, I found out that a letter to the editor I had sent in while I was gone was published. You can read all about it on my other blog.
One of my favorite holiday traditions growing up was watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special. It turns out you [...]

I got back into Raleigh about 1AM this morning. I am back online and have 413(!) emails in my inbox, so if you are waiting on a response to one you sent me, I am working my way through it. I will try to respond to everyone today.

I am going to be on the road for the next 24-48  hours and will be in very limited connectivity. If you need me, just shoot me an email and I will get back to you, most likely on Thursday afternoon.

Not financially, but physically. I have lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 pounds since I have been in Raleigh, and had to break down and buy a new pair of blue jeans today, because the old ones were, literally, falling off of me.
For the first time in over a year, I am back in [...]

Over at my other blog, I have started a small periodic newsletter to keep folks informed of what we are doing here in Raleigh and what they can do to help, whether they are here or from where they are.
If this is your sort of thing, I hope you will consider signing up. Of course, [...]
