Electoral College Tie in the Fall

Today, I contemplated a possible scenario for this November’s General Election. What if Barack Obama and John McCain tie in the Electoral College at 269 each. We all know that the House of Representatives would decide the presidency, and that each state delegation would get one vote. So, 50 votes to determine [...]

Will I Ever…

Will I ever…feel older. You know what I mean–like an adult.  I’m 34 and still feel as though I’m a kid.  Well, my perspective has changed, but life itself goes on in much the same way as it always has.
When speaking with those older and wiser they do admit to me that age creeps up [...]

The Last Castle

Thank you Alyce for letting me borrow your movie The Last Castle.  Frankly, I had never heard of the movie, but 5 minutes into it I was hooked.  What a great lesson on human nature, honor, duty, and bravery.  I recommend this film to anyone who has not seen it.  (WARNING–It is rated R for [...]

Tombstone

I watched Tombstone (1993 starring Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer, among others) again the other night. I had forgotten how many good lines there are in that movie. Of course, we all remember “I’ll be your huckleberry.” and “You tell ‘em I’M coming… and hell’s coming with me, you hear?…. Hell’s coming with [...]

Bologna Cake, The Redneck Treat

O.K.
Here is a recipe you’ve got to try if you wish to become a full fledged redneck.
It’s Bologna Cake aka Baloney Cake and if Rice O Roni is the San Francisco Treat, then Bologna Cake is the West Virginia treat. (No offense to you from WV, I just selected you because after all the [...]

Random Ranting

OK-here comes some mental diarrhea. I apologize for the purge.
My weekends are busier than my workweek…and I teach in a middle school.
I don’t like when drive thru workers cut me off when I’m ordering with statements like, “would you like anything else?” Well, if they would let me finish my order I would let [...]

Obama, Heir (Err) Apparant

Well, after yesterday’s election results in NC and IN, it appears that freshman Sen. Obama (D-Illinois) at 46 years of age, is going to win his party’s nomination for president. I happen to think his nomination will secure a win in November for the Republican party. Here’s why.
Obama is young–too young–and lacks the political [...]

Will anyone read this?

Well, thanks to my good friend Mark LeHew (www.smellmylife.com) I have been inspired to begin my own blog–and I am forced to ask the question “will anyone read this?” With millions of bloggers, here’s hopin’.
I will mostly write about my interests, (Real original, huh?) observations, and life in general. Oh, and as for [...]
