As some of you know, I have been on the lam in Seattle for the better part of a week, and there’s still a couple days to go before I wrap up all my business here and head back to Florida from whence I came. This has been a long journey back to the homeland, one...

I decided to hit the sack a little early last night. It had been a long day and this bicoastal life can play havoc with your internal clock where you pop up at 4 a.m. and there’s nothing to do, but by the time there is something to do, around 7 p.m.-ish,...

Like many Boomers, I came of age in a time when the political climate in America was in a state of flux. Well, I guess that’s an understatement. A couple of our best people had been gunned down in their prime and the first real president I was aware of, Richard...

Congress has to be shaking in its boots this past week. It seems that they can’t just do anything they want after all. At least not when the public gets wind of what they are up to. As we all know SOPA, or the Stop Online Piracy Act, was shit canned this week....

It may be hard to believe, but I was once a good little Catholic boy. In my youth, I would even come home from church and perform Mass. I had a small book that had all the Latin prayers and passages, and I would lay a bathroom towel over the organ bench, make...

I have been a space nut since I was a little boy. I think the Gemini missions were the first ones I remembered. My mom used to even let us stay home to watch the major milestones, such as the first walk in space or the rendezvous between Geminis 6 & 7. My mom...
