WEDDING OF THE DECADE, WAUKEE, IOWA

Mmy daughters and I are presently sitting in the St. Boniface Catholic Church for the wedding of my niece. The weather is hot and humid, the sky is a beautiful hue of blue, and everyone is upbeat. St. Boniface is the church where we marched in the May Day parade, made our first confessions and... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogger Battles With the Past and Loses...

The past holds no power over us, unless we choose to relive episodes where we lose, offend or are offended, hold grudges against people or groups of persons. That is the gist of John From Cincinnati. For those of you who have missed this powerful lesson, sign up to HBO and try to get the reruns.... Sign in to see full entry.

Alex Rodriguez, Age 32, Hits 500 Home Runs

My children do not use drugs, they do not drink. I have stressed that the American dream is easier achieved that way. It does no good to have a highly paid steroid user like Barry Bonds tying the home run record of a decent man like my childhood hero, Henry Aaron. I am so happy that the same day's...

These Bloggers - Just These Bloggers - BUG ME!

I have just about had enough of SpongeBob, MTV, Animal Planet, Discovery Health Channel, Sci Fi Network, etc. I'm ready to return to a real man's job: nouns, verbs, spelling, dependent and independent clauses, posters, pronunciation, name tags, home room, and lunch! You know! Sign in to see full entry.

A Day in the Life of an Average Dad...

Today was the final day before my hotter water daughter moves out. We breakfasted together before she went to work. When she got home she watched Brit Hume with me, asking questions about everything, and then we watched Mike Douglas and Keifer Sutherland in the Centinel. After that we went to the...

New Family Entertainment: the Simpsons on the Big Screen!

It's all about family togetherness, true love between mother and father, and the responsibility of each of us to one another and to the environment. The Simpsons' Movie. Really! Go see it. My daughter laughed clear through it. I smiled clear through it. Sign in to see full entry.

Blogger Run Over by SUV, Corrected -- Oops!

My daughter got home from work tonight at nine-ish, on our truncated 4.4 mile walk around Grey's Lake, I thought to ask her about that story she brought back from Austin last summer when she went to visit my niece. Correction #1. They were not at the airport at all; the little girl was riding her... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogger Run Over At the Aiurport by an SUV, and Walked Away...

It was a sunny afternoon, mom and kids were out and about, picking grams up at the airport. Little Cassie was on her bike, in the pick up lane crosswalk, when an elderly driver backed into her, knocked her down, backed over her with the rear wheel of her SUV, stopped and pulled forward when...

What I Told My Children about Certain Bloggers...

I had no choice but to take a stand when my two daughters asked me who I was voting for, for president. I teamed up Hillary and Obama on the one side, Rudy and Fred on the other, and declared that I would vote Republican. Now, provided there are no new terror bombings on American soil, I feel this...

I teach my children that the differences between Democrats and Republicans are life and taxes; and that the best Republican presidents were Reagan and W. Bush. Both protected life and reduced taxes. However, the sign of true greatness is the individual's response to tragedy. Lincoln, Wilson, FDR,... Sign in to see full entry.
