Click each image to enlarge. Thanksgiving day on the beach with the cutest cabana boy in Cancun. Three ZimmerWomen and a baby. With his … Read More
Biotechnology is a Women’s Issue
This afternoon I’ll be live on Catholic radio in Lexington, KY to talk about why biotechnology is a women’s issue. Pay attention, ladies! Porn isn’t the only industry commodifying women. Tune in at 5pm EST: http://www.realliferadio.com/ Every show Mike asks a “question of the day.” Today’s question is: In general, do you think women are more objectified in our culture … Read More
The Best Worst Dog That Ever Lived
R.I.P. Crash Monster (1999-2013) Like most people, I’m sure, I had hoped that my dog would die comfortably and peacefully with me at home. But he had other plans. As long as he didn’t appear to be suffering terribly, I kept putting off bringing him in to have him put down. But, no matter how many times I told him … Read More
Prayers for Crashkor the Luckdragon
It’s starting to become pretty clear that my beloved Crash monster probably will not be with me much longer. Longtime readers will recall that Crash was a gift to me from some dear neighbors after the car accident that paralyzed me. Which makes this old man 14 years old this year. Not a bad run, as doggy lifespans go and … Read More
Cute Unborn Nephew Blogging
My baby sister is having a baby! It seems like only yesterday… Throwback Thursday: me and my baby-baby sister 24 years ago. But, she really is pregnant — 15 weeks or so. Unaware of the sex, we’ve all just been referring to the little one as “Peanut”…until now. Usually the sex is not determinable until closer to week 20, but … Read More

Weekend Quick Takes: I Love Pensacola!
Regretably, things have been pretty quiet on the blog this week. That’s because… 1. On Monday I had half of my wisdom teeth pulled. Is it just me or is this always such an incredibly unpleasant sight: Haven’t had to use prescription pain meds since Monday, but my mouth is still pretty sore…and a little swollen. Let’s just say I’m … Read More
R.I.P. Coco Kitty
One of those little black balls of fluff is a newborn Coco Kitty in May of 1993(with sweet, sweet momma Cassie Cat): Loot at the precious!: And here she is all grown up just a few short months ago: After 19 years, it’s hard to believe that she’s really gone. Though stuffed full of boxes, shelves and power tools, the … Read More
I’m a Floridian!! And Moving is a LOT of Work!
Not that I thought this was going to be a piece of cake, but, wow. I was not planning on taking an entire week off blogging, but I just haven’t had much time to sit down long enough to do any significant writing or even a short blog post in the past week. I arrived safely in Florida last Wednesday … Read More
