How to Gain the Christmas Spirit
The best way to give wings to the Christmas Spirit is to give gifts to people who need them. My wife and I exchanged few gifts this year, opting instead to give to charities instead.

In my dream, I’m waiting in front of the (church?) junior high school, at the sidewalk under the rain protection. I’m waiting for the Sweet Wife to pick me up, except she’s not in a car. She’s in an F-14 Tomcat. She calls me on the cell phone and tells me she’s low on fuel [...]

Taking some time off of blogging this weekend. Headed to my niece’s high school graduation and spending time with family. If there’s a new post before Tuesday, I didn’t do it.

The dastardly cookie girls I wrote about last week have been rescued by a radio station: Radio station KOA-AM of Denver raised more than $1,900 from listeners Friday to pay the girls’ $930.78 fine. The rest of the money will go to a charity dedicated to victims of the Columbine High School massacre. Meanwhile, Richard [...]
