Shauna's mother visited this weekend. It made for a very relaxing weekend for me, although I don't know if it was the same for Shauna. Shauna's mom took care of Siri Saturday night so we could go out for dinner. This was originally planned as a celebration of Shauna's birthday, but messy weekend weather prevented Shauna's mom from coming the ( Read more... )

LewRockwell.com has a fascinating article today written by Donald W. Miller, Jr. MD about Peter H. Duesberg, a molecular biologist at the University of California at Berkeley. Duesberg refutes claims that AIDS is caused by HIV and that cancer is the result of gene mutations. Duesberg is convinced that AIDS is actually caused by three things, ( Read more... )

One night last week, I turned on the television (a bad habit I have). The show that was just coming on when I turned on the TV was some abomination called Wife Swap on ABC. The premise of the show is that mothers from two different (different being the key word) families change places for some defined period to see how the other mother lives, and ( Read more... )

Today is Shauna's birthday. She thinks she is old, but she isn't. She is the best, and I love her.

I can't quite figure out the love affair the editors of Esquire seem to have with Bill Clinton. A couple of months back, they put Clinton on the cover and named him "the world's most influential man." This month they have him listed as one of the three most stylish presidents ever. I admit, I have never been a big fan of Mr. Clinton, but then I ( Read more... )

I'm still sleep deprived thanks to a late night at the office due to technical glitches over a file that needed to be transmitted. I imagine that somewhere in Atlanta or Charlotte, some computer operator saw a message flash up on his or her screen at some point during the 24 hours that preceded 6:30 p.m. CST last night. Said operator chose to ( Read more... )

Synthesis: my favorite weblog entry today.

My favorite word these days is marginalizationSiri woke up twice after 1:00 a.m. She doesn't wake up that often during the night, but when she does, she tends to wake up screaming. We never know if it is a nightmare, she is in pain, or just some kind of discomfort. Poor Shauna reacts more quickly than ( Read more... )

I always think I am going to write something here, but I rarely get around to it. Perhaps I will endeavor to update this more often. I need to either update or just delete the blasted thing.

In the past month or so, I read some books. I ordered and quickly read Escaping the Matrix by Richard Moore. (I wrote about it here.) It was sort of ( Read more... )

Thanks to Kevin Carson I have discovered a late Christmas present I may just have to purchase for myself. Author Richard Moore has published a book called Escaping the Matrix. This is apparently an expanded version of an article Moore wrote and was published in Whole Earth magazine and New Dawn magazine in 2000. In the article, Moore equates our ( Read more... )
