I’ve added it to my blog roll like a good little brother. It just launched today so we’ll have to see where she goes with it.

I think it is going to be a nail bitter
Looking at data like this, I’m seriously thinking of taking the day after the election off from my day job. Because my typical election party may go well into the night like it did in 2000. (Now I have jinxed, but for whom?)
A pleasant holiday
Even though the 4th fell in the middle of the week, throwing off my internal clock, I had a quite pleasent holiday.
The evening of the 4rd, we had friends over for board and card gaming. Afterwards, when my sweetie-wfe had gone to bed, it turned into a lively politicla discussion with two progressive, two conervatives, and myself.
The 4th itself was a day spent with my sweetie-wife. We walked over amile through trails where the regions natural biome had been preserved. Then we played a card game of Dominion, she won, but our skills are so closely matched that most of the time it is the luck of the deck that makes the difference.
We finished with a nice dinner, hmmm steak, and watching the second half of 1982’s Cat People. I hadn’t seen the film since the early 80’s and my sweetie had never seen it unedited.
We did not go out to fireworks – I stayed in and watched a classic Noir film Naked City –so we did not see san diego grad goof.
Hope everyone had a fine and fun fourth.
A worthy Project
Happy 4th of July
Today we celebrate an action of congress. Today is the celebration of our declaration of Independence, when the thirteen British colonies on North America announced their divorce from their mother country and proclaimed themselves a new nation.
This nation was not created perfect, it was created under the taint of slavery and without a concept of equality as widely applied as today, but it did proclaim the principles that have set the course for ever increasing freedom and equality for mankind.
I am immensely proud the be an American. I am passionately devoted to equality, and while perfection can never be achieved by mortal man, in my opinion no nation has done more for the betterment of humanity, ethically or materially than the United States of America.
A new rejection slip came
So, another market has passed on another short story of mine.
My feelings, well look at the video. LOL
Do not be alarmed
That sound you hear, like muffed popcorn cooking in the distance, is nothing more than conservative heads bursting as they learn that it was Roberts and not Kennedy that gave the court its 5-4 decision upholding the ACA.
Sunday Night Movie:Young Frankenstein
Sorry for the post being a tad late, life has been busy, and some of it actually in a good way. (The root canals while required were less fun.)
I have a general rule with both Mel Brooks and Wood Allen movies, the 
less they appear the funnier the film turns out to be. Young Frankenstein is my favorite of the films directed by Mel Brooks. The majority of the credit I feel would have to go to star and writer Gene Wilder. Continue reading
I’m back
It was not my intention to keep away from my blog for almost ten days, but life has been hectic.
The day-job has been very busy, and that is a good thing because it means my job is secure in the troubling economic times. In the evening I have been working hard on getting through what I suspect will be the hardest part of my book to write, a massive space battle of ninety ships, with characters scattered and a lot invented tactics to try to slip into the exposition. I’ll be very happy to be back among simply character scenes and emotion dangers versus space battles.
On the plus side I have finished the first draft of the space battles and I’m now about 15,000 words into the novel. I’m happy with the progress and I am looking forward to the rest of the book.
I’m going to try and be better about my blogging, I have things to say, lots of things to say, but my time seems to slip right on by me.
Food for thought
People wonder why I am skeptical of the GOP on financial issues, well, they should read this article by a former member of the Reagan team, it really lays out in simple terms just how massive of a lie it is that republicans are better with the money than the Democratic party.
