In the wake of the most recent CNN retraction of a "Russia Russia Russia" story, two reporters and an editor have been terminated.
Published writer, compulsive reader, Old School Whovian, Match Game enthusiast, NKOTB fan, data hoarder, and - surprisingly, given that list - married with four kids. Welcome to my take on life, fatherhood, entertainment, and whatever strikes my fancy. Enjoy!

A Possum Tale
As she was getting her bike out of the shed Junie ran to me saying there was an animal in the fertilizer spreader. Indeed there was, a young possum that refused to budge until I carried the spreader out and tipped it over on the grass. It's age kept me from killing it, but i can't have it taking up residence in the shed. So I'll be cooking up some internet solutions shortly.
Bible Update
Finished Nehemiah (good writer, admirable man), Tobit (yawn), and Judith (women be trouble, then and now).

Makes sense
1.5 inches of rain after midnight and I wake up to sunshine and dry ground. Makes sense.

A Political Post
No one seems to care, but Obama's DHS Secretary testified under oath that the DNC refused to cooperate with Homeland Security as it investigated hacking charges during the election season. The Democrats - speaking only in terms of the official party here - are as crooked and shady as they come.

A Lesson
Life lesson from #DatelineTV: the 911 operator is not your ally, your confidant, or a neutral party. Anything you say, or don't say to her, and in what tone or lack thereof, in what is surely the most panic stricken moment of your life, will be abused and twisted by a prosecutor more concerned with victory than justice.
My Latest Painting
It's not up to my wife's level, but it a'right. I'm not sure what's up with my left arm in the picture, unless I was trying to honor Bob Dole.
Strange Victory
When you wake up having to pee and your kid consciously jumps into the bathroom ahead of you, and slams the door proclaiming "You don't control me!" in some odd pubescent victory.
The GA Congressional Race
If the numbers I've seen are accurate, Trump won GA-6 by less than two % points; yesterday Ossoff lost it by 5-6% pts. Any claim it is a closet Dem victory is woefully misguided.
Kay Eckstein
RIP Kay Eckstein, the Marquette benefactor that donated $51 million to the law school that bears her name.
My Thoughts
I think marriage is about the only decision you make for the rest of your life. Everything else is subject to change, unless you want the seventy year old you to be subject to the promises of an immature twenty year old.
A "Privilege" Quiz
A friend posted a quiz to determine your "privilege" in life, , and was I was honestly surprised by this result. I think the concept itself is largely apologetic hoohah, but I guess growing up poor, fat, and mildly crazy has its (dis)advatages. I'll try and link the quiz in the comments.
Showtime becomes a second-run theater
That was unexpected. Showtime has always been a high quality theater, but I guess Marcus owns it now so it is what it is. Good for my pocketbook if nothing else.

The Holy Family Medal
Last week I bought Lisa a new bike and so now Team Slap can properly follow my evacuation plan when the zombie apocalypse arrives. Today our trip was more sedate, journeying with Smiley to a local Catholic store to pick out a Father's Day gift. I wanted a St Joseph medal, as I was born on his feast day and he's the patron saint of fathers. Alas, some were sold out and the rest too pricey, so instead I picked out a medallion of the Holy Family. Great gift guys!
A Neat Find
According to Archaelology Magazine, a medevial sword was recently found in a peat bog in Southeastern Poland. div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A Lucky Day
Took a bike ride with Dan, not one rain drop. Went into Store, did a lil shopping. Came out and noticed it rained while in store but again, not a drop on ride home. Get inside, less the five minutes later the skies open up for a pour....I think I might buy a scratch off, luck is on my side today! 💚 - Lisa
