and it continues… If you start out an argument by saying, “Well, Glenn Beck said…” I will immediately ignore whatever you have to say because it will likely be complete bullshit. Glenn Beck is dumber than Rush Limbaugh and that is saying a lot. If a person’s statement can be refuted or proven incorrect in about 2 minutes from a multitude of sources then it should not have been written or said. I’ll gladly admit I am wrong if someone…
I am not a fan of sarcasm because beneath the sarcasm there is usually something that is not so nice. If you have a problem with something or someone just say what it is and figure out how to fix it. I experienced first hand how the Republican party supports our troops – they don’t and then how the Democrats did and likely still do. Look at the budgets for the ongoing wars that President Bush and company started, they…
As republicans are tromping through the country trying to get people to vote them in again I wonder if people remember why so many of us voted them out? Do we forget so easily who got us into the mess we’re in now? Depending on your political viewpoint you will certainly have different answers to that question, but as the country voted it was quite obvious who they thought was at fault. This has not changed. One of my conservative…
Ever have one of those situations in life where you really aren’t sure what to do? What is the right thing to do and what would you really like to do? If you know me you know my situation and if you know the situation you also likely do not understand why I am still in this situation because it makes no sense that the situation is still causing this situation. No one reads this anyway so who cares. …
June has been going pretty well and fast. The picture here is showing the group I rode with on the Flagstaff to Sedona mountain bike ride on the 12th. We had about 26 or so people and almost everyone made the entire 43 mile trip. Unfortunately I didn’t make it the whole way due to a very odd pain on the outside of my right knee so my next step is to get that checked out. Beyond that I’m…
It is pretty crazy that it is already May 2010 and so much has changed over the past two years. Life can definitely throw curveballs and be exciting can’t it? Since December I’ve been busy skiing, sledding, kayaking, climbing, caving, hashing, hiking, driving, riding, walking, packing, unpacking, working and playing. In January I went to Kartchner Caverns, skiing at Sunrise, went to see George Winston in concert pretty much just took it easy as the new year started. In February…
December has started and the winter weather has finally arrived! It’s snowing in the mountains and raining in the desert. Last weekend I had to use a timeshare deal I bought over a year ago north of Phoenix. It was a very relaxing weekend of doing nothing at all and I felt completely out of touch with reality when I went back to work today (Monday). This past week Mooch had surgery on his eyelid where a growth had formed…
Above is the new bridge around the Hoover Dam. It has been quite a construction project so far and I can’t wait for it to be completed! October and November have been fun months. I helped a few friends move from one place to another, hiked, biked, ran around the city with my hasher friends (www.phoenixhhh.org), went to Los Angeles to see friends, went to Las Vegas for a really fun Red Dress Run for the Hash House Harriers group…
September still means summer in Phoenix so our Luau run (hash) was definitely a hot run. It was a fun day full of friends, running, singing, beer pong (and winning the championship with my pong-partner), playing chicken in the pool, eating what non-meat items were available and consuming more than one beer. The hang-over run on Sunday morning did not entice as many hashers as Saturday’s, but it was a fun little run. At the beginning of the month Karen…
August went by very quickly with visits from family, travel to visit friends and camping at the end of the month with friends and new friends. At the beginning of the month I flew to the San Francisco area to visit Elena and Tom who just got a new place so I thought I’d help them break in the new place. Fortunately for me they were already unpacked, organized and ready for company. While there Elena and I explored the…
