I may have posted about his before, but I wanted to note two of Eleanor's behaviors ( Read more... )

Eleanor stayed at the babysitter's last night, and Bev had class today.  So I went to get Eleanor.  I actually made it over there before 10:00, which I thought was pretty good.  Eleanor and I went up to the mall.  We had a good time in the car listening to Car Talk and playing.  As I was driving, Eleanor asked me for a baby wipe, and she started ( Read more... )

Our 15th anniversary is on Tuesday.  We celebrated tonight.

I bough Bev some real jewelry, a platinum three diamond ring that I thought was really pretty.  She deserves some real jewelery.

On Saturday, we all loaded up to go to the zoo.  Bev's been working with Eleanor on naming animals, and she's getting pretty good at it.  So we took her to see the real helphants.  She seemed to like it.  The zoo itself was kind of disappointing.  For a city this size, it's kind of pathetic, or maybe I was just spoiled by growing up near the ( Read more... )

Instructors like to honk on about Ability, Opportunity, and Jeopardy. I'm trying to figure out where this comes from. I've seen instructors say that it comes from Tennessee v. Garner or other decisions. I haven't found it.
Personally, I think it's a bunch of crap. When I teach Use of Force, I already meet two of the elements to use force. I have ( Read more... )

Someone mentioned a strike from posting today, so here I am posting.  I hate it when people go on strike.  I think it's because I despise unions.

So now I need to think of something to say.  Think think think.

Eleanor and I are hanging out at the house so

I'm going to a seminar down in Callaway Gardens.  I've never been paid to go to a law enforcement conference.  Being in management has its benefits.

It's a three day seminar  on Legal Issues in Today's Jails that is sponsored by the American Jail Association and the Georgia Sheriff's Association.

The chief will probably want me to write some policy ( Read more... )

Back when Bev was in the hospital with Eleanor. I bought new phone's because Bev's was broken.  We've waited two years for the contract to expire.  Now Bev has a nice shiny new Blackberry from T-Mobile.  My service contract was bought out by the sheriff about a year and a half ago ( Read more... )

Thanks to Texas and Ohio, Senator Clinton is back in the race.  It was looking grim there for a week or so, but maybe this will help Senator Clinton to defeat Senator Obama and save the republic.  Well, really I don't think any of the people running for president will do that much harm or good no matter what happens over the next four years.  Maybe ( Read more... )

We went to the Dragon*Con staff meeting on Sunday, and we wound up being late.

I didn't know about a walk that was being held down town.  Just as we exited on International Boulevard, an Atlanta police officer stopped traffic.  Then there was a flood of people who were walking for something.  Some of them carried signs for various churches.  There ( Read more... )
