The yard is looking more grassy green than snowy white now. It’s been a long time coming in this record breaking winter not of discontent as much as surprise. I thought my house had been relocated to Buffalo, Erie or some other such place. The most snow in a season since recordkeeping began for Washington, [...]
I really was going to get back to this blog sooner. Oh well. I could scarcely resist on this day. As the first snow of the season falls on the Northern Virginia area, other flakes fall as well. I refer to those exceptional narcissists named Salahi. Day after day, a new detail of their flaky self-aggrandizing [...]
Not today, mind you, but soon. Not a sabbatical, but I have been out of the blogging loop. Reference back to my “Scrooged” post. The physical went fine, the spiritual went fine, but there was another dimension I didn’t expect. But I am now ready to roll again. More coming soon and regularly again.
OK, we are getting older. Still, objectively I think, the volume was louder. We went to see Angels and Demons yesterday in a local multiplex.

The Vermont House joined the state’s senate in overriding the governor’s bill making gay marriage legal in Vermont. The Iowa supreme court recently made gay marriage legal there. Numerous states allow the use of medical marijuana and some have decriminalized the possession or use of small quantities of the recreational drug. An African-American man now [...]
Is it semantics or is there a difference between a goal and a (New Year’s)resolution? I’m not sure it matters, but I am sure that just as each flip of the monthly calendar page at the end of December begins a new year, each flip of the 365-day calendar begins a new day. In other [...]
OK, maybe the title is redundant, but it seems that Heath and Deborah Campbell of Hunterdon County, New Jersey have struck a new low in stupidity. Could they possibly be looking for inclusion in the Guinness book of World Records for the most idiotic bigots? They named their 3-year old son “Adolf Hitler Campbell.” They have a younger daughter [...]
That’s what the guy on the radio said, promoting giving trick-or-treaters Trader Joe’s own brand of chicken broth in resealable containers. Can’t argue with that. I almost ran off the road laughing when I heard this ad yesterday while driving along Woodburn Road. He started out saying how “last year” it is giving pre-packaged Halloween [...]

A little later than I would like, but still I have to let everyone know that the new and improved Eagle Peak Press website is now up and running. The hook on which I want to hang this publisher hat is in honor of the inscription of the Dai-Gohonzon on October 12, 1279 and the [...]
Sorry for the big break in posts; we are in the process of finalizing a deal on some land and getting ready to hit the road again. We will get a new post up in another day or two.
