Thoughts? Well, we will still be counting ballots until 4/12 or so due to our ridiculous primary and general election rules that allow mail in ballots to be accepted and counted up to a week after election day!

Another Trip Update for October 28th
This week I attended Freegen Church in Lapu Lapu. This is my girl’s old church. This was our second visit this month. I was wearing a prominent colored shirt and made a short video of the praise music which I later posted on Facebook. Yesterday, I found out that the photo collage that went on…

President Obama’s Administration leaks like the proverbial sieve. Our government appears incapable of keeping any secrets. It is clear that today’s Executive Order to enact portions of the “Dream Act” is the result of information that the White House was given that the U.S. Supreme Court is about to issue to rule in favor of…

Verizon is touting its new “family plan” as some type of an improvement over what I have now. How can that be? My current plan has two smart phones and two regular phones. Look what this does to my bill. Here are some of the details: • A regular phone will go from 9.99 to…
