This morning on the way to work, I had a local Granite City radio talk show on. They were having a contest to see who could come up with the best slogan for Granite City. One of the radio guys…
It May Be Cold, But Spring is Coming
The weather is warming, but still cold overall. What I like most about this time of year is that the days are getting longer. It is nice to wake up in the morning to some natural light. Same goes for…
Murphy’s Law
The number of red lights you encounter is directly proportional to how late you are running.
Another Good Weekend
I could have used a lot more sleep this weekend, but then there are only 24 hours in a day. Other than that, it was a great weekend. Saturday was the first Valentines day since 1994 that I got to…
An Open Letter to the President
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president I was secure and prosperous, but in the last year, we had to close our operations. We simply…
Keep the Hits Coming
Although I’m personally responsible for a large percentage of them, I made it to 100 hits on this blog sometime yesterday. Wow, I’m popular!!!!! If it were interesting, I’d publish the link to this blog online and actually get some…
Thanks For Costing Us a War
Now it looks like John Kerry, the Democratic Presidential candidate, may be directly responsible for the U.S. losing the Vietnam war, although not personally. I think it’s a bit funny, considering he’s currently encouraging the media to lionize him because…
Granite City traffic

One of Those Days
If I were to describe my day so far, it wouldn’t sound too great. I am having a good day though. (One perk to being close to God). It started out by waking up at 5:15, and not getting back…
Another Slow Day
Today is going relatively slow, as has every day this week. While the boss is out (and unavailable to give me more work), I’ve been playing with the code behind the blog. I started a test blog to play around…
What Are They Thinking?
Another activist court making obscene decisions today. The Massachusetts Supreme Court issued a ruling to the State Legislature that Civil Unions are not good enough, they must acknowledge full and equal marriage rights for gays & lesbians. It’s time to…
Looks Like Kerry
Seems John Kerry is well on his way to being the Democratic candidate for President in November. He’s already beating Bush in one poll too. My guess is that he does win the nomination, but for a variety of reasons…
A Little Extra – Maybe Later
A coworker approached me with an idea I took a liking to. I was expecting to do some work on an addition to a Bowling Alley, but today found out that they are going to farm to work out to…
