I’m glad to see that the main stream media has redirected the nation’s attention from “twerking” (I can’t recall anything that makes me wish this actually existed more than learning that word) to something that actually matters: what’s going on in Syria.  The drum beat of war is starting up again and everyone seems to…

Common Core gets hammered all the time for making our kids stupid. I was doing some homework with my son recently and found that while it doesn’t understand cost, revenue or profit, it does get one thing right: taxes.

One might say that the path I took through school was a little out of the ordinary.  I went to private schools from K through getting my bachelors, only to go to a public school for my masters (and then back to a private school for my MBA).  I went to all Catholic schools for…

I had the honor and privilege of being asked to help teach a rifle tactics class this past weekend and of course I jumped at the chance.  It was a class I had taken myself a few years ago myself, and I was interested to see it from the other side. I think I was…

Yesterday I was sitting at the breakfast table, having some coffee with my wife before we got ready for church.  My son had left his homework out from the day before (my daughter has migrated to doing her homework in her room, but my son still does his at the kitchen table) and I just…

So I was trying to get a post on here every day for 40 days.  I made it 8.  Posting every day and having it be even semi worthwhile is hard.  I have a long list of stuff I want to post on, but finding the time to sit down and work it from a…
