A dabble in philosophy
I have a confession to make: I’m an avid podcast listener. As much as I hate all the time I spend mowing grass (3-4 hours a week) and driving to work (2 hours each day I actually muster the energy to come in) I really enjoy that those tasks give me the time to listen…

Why?
Not who, what, when or where – just why? In the last week I’ve had a few people ask me why I even bother posting here. Not in a negative “no one reads your crap” sort of way (then again maybe it was meant that way and I am more socially tone def than I…

KHSAA "no handshake" directive shows complete lack of leadership
I just heard today about the Kentucky High School Athletics Association’s “directive” on post game handshakes. The news broke yesterday, in what the KHSAA themselves later called a “poorly worded” communication. The initial communication (which I can’t seem to find after a pretty thorough scrubbing by KHSAA) was mis-interpreted by “key media outlets and veteran…

Journey to the center of the Core
I took my lunch hour the other day to listen in live on the Cato institute debate on common core (replay, downloadable video and podcast / audio only download available here).

Not in my name
The “Syria issue” doesn’t seem to be going away. Unfortunately, it seems I was wrong in thinking that it was just a distraction to keep the administration from having to actually discuss the state of American finances at the G20 summit – how embarrassing would that have been? The full court press propaganda media campaign…

Update from the weekend and a work post
Quick Update: Labor Day weekend at church camp went great. Me and 160+ of my closest friends. It’s definitely a battery re- charger to sit around for three days and have no agenda. My son did manage to break his wrist but he will be okay in a few weeks – plus he gets a…

Gone fishin'
Just a quick post to let you know not expect any posts over the long labor day weekend. Don’t send out the search party – I’m not missing nor have I gone galt. I’m just heading down to the mountains in Kentucky for a few days to hang out with a couple hundred of my…
