Since my wife and children are away visiting the in-laws, it gave me the time to read some books that I was interested in. One of them was “Children of Hurin”. It was compiled and edited by Christopher Tolkien based on a story by his father, JRR Tolkien.
This book is set in the first age [...]

Net Neut

Hmm… seems like there has been some discussions on net neutrality recently.
This is my thought on it. I am not really a fan of the net neutrality talk that I hear from the FCC – as it only really benefits the pseudo-parasites. Anyway, knowing that no system is perfect, I believe the fairest way to [...]
Women

Wow, it’s been a long time since I posted anything.
Anyway, came across and interesting article in First Things.
This was the 2nd article I read past week talking about how women’s happiness has been trending downward since the 1970’s. This despite achievements in workplace parity and in education (women now surpass that of men in educational achievement), the [...]

Something rare happened a church this past weekend: An Egyptian Presbyterian Pastor came to give us a sermon. It’s rare enough to meet a Christian from Egypt but someone that is a Presbyterian? Now that is something that you do not see everyday. Anyway, what he said kinda struck a certain harmony with something that [...]

I have been reading about the repair job that our astronauts have done to the Hubble telescope.
All I can say is wow – just a major achievement and reflects the training, tenacity and ingenuity of these guys.
American Cars

It seems that it will go the way of the dodo.
I do not mean American car companies, but cars that one would think of as American: big, muscular and running on gas. Instead, with the announcement that the Obama administration made about increasing and accelerating the gas mileage requirements to 39 mpg by 2016 (not [...]
Swine Flu 2

Couple of other things that I am concerned about this are some of the more extreme reactions that I am reading about. On one hand we have people calling for the closure of the border with Mexico and on the other we have the usual PETA types along with their white wine crowd allies that are [...]
Swine Flu

Well there has been confirmation of human to human transmission.
Living in a state bordering Mexico and knowing that past flu pandemics caused millions of deaths, this is something to keep an eye on. Am a little disappointed in the fact that our president has not made staffing HHS and CDC (as well as Treasury – [...]
Another One?

Seems that there has been another shooting. This time at a Korean Catholic retreat center in California.
Is it me, or does it seem that there has been a rash of these type of things recently – I think there has been three or four in the past month? Is it the economy? Is it something [...]

As you may or may not know, I have a daughter. She, like many little girls, is into Disney princesses. She likes Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Belle, etc etc etc. Not too long ago, we got her the Disney Sleeping Beauty movie.
One thing I just wanted to say about it. There is a gag in [...]
