As a member of the Knights of Columbus at my local church, I am privy to information other regular church goers are not. I know people on the finance team, parish council, etc. It’s a humble brag but I will tell you the Catholic Church (aka who the Pope leads) is failing badly. Allow me…

“La La La I Can’t Hear You”
Yep. It’s about unanimous that my immediate family (and a few others) are unsupportive of me. Somehow, I’m expected to be miserable for the rest of my life and must continue to pine over my deceased wife until I too wind up in the grave. I’ve gone from irritated to just plain done with the…

By now, you readers know I am a Libertarian who basically believes in a person’s right to do anything they want when they are an adult. I believe in personal freedom. So why do I hate gambling? Shouldn’t someone be able to gamble if they so choose? The answer is a “yes” and “no;” sure,…

This post is about willful ignorance and my frustration with it. Folks, over the last year, I have been crystal clear about the intricacies of navigating the legal and ethical dilemmas that I have encountered in my relationship with my special friend.

In his book, The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli famously said that justice cannot be had without money. The same can be said about Attorney Mario and the legal system that he navigates.

When I say qualified, I don’t mean that they are a resident, meet age requirements etc. Here is what I mean. Bottom line: run for an office you think you can win. As mentioned earlier, a gubernatorial campaign will cost you 40-50…

Yep. It was Wednesday, August 5th. I got home about 7 PM, grabbed the mailbox key, hooked the leash to my friend, and proceeded to walk to the mailbox. I’ve done this evolution virtually every day for three and a half years. Last night there was nothing in the mailbox, so we headed home. We…

Yep. The highlight of my day was going to the church’s men’s Bible study last night. One guy that regularly attends is a former member of the LDS Church. He made a comment concerning Jesus binding the strong man and stealing his goods. (We’ll get to the text in a moment.) The Bible study leader…

Idaho’s Proposition 1 is a literal gut and amend of all abortion related laws in the state. Idaho voters are being asked to dump their very prolife laws and replace them with the same abortion laws as California implemented under Governor Gavin Newsom. Folks, I am honestly afraid this damnable piece of evilness may pass.…

In preparation for some future activities, I have started a diet. I have a bunch of clothing in my closet that simply didn’t fit anymore. As stated in previous post, I lost 13 lbs. in July. As August begins, I am continuing to lose more weight. I am finally able to get back into large…
