Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. I wrote about MLK day last year and suggest taking a look at that post, too. There isn’t a lot I want to say today, but I do want to point to a speech by Dr. King. I couldn’t find this speech on YouTube, but there is some audio [Keep Reading...]
Truth be told: when I first started blogging here and I wrote down a bunch of categories that I thought I would write about, I thought I would have a harder time writing articles that weren’t about sports. Today’s post will be my 10th in the sports category, which is still 7 behind the entertainment and [Keep Reading...]
There were a few articles (here, here, and here) in The Economist over the last few issues that got me thinking about religion. And not any one particular religion — all of them — and how they might be very much interrelated. At the same time, I often think about the growing pandemic of overworking. [Keep Reading...]
This morning, I woke up to some light flurries in the Metro DC area, but what I really want to talk about is yesterday’s snow-filled day. I spent most of the day in the office and the blinds weren’t open. I happened to leave the office and catch a glimpse of the outside — snow [Keep Reading...]

Finally, finally, finally. I have caught up my “Who I’m Following” series to the actual people I am following on Twitter. You’ll notice a decided conservative-flavor to these Twitter accounts because I noticed I was following a number of “liberal” folks. As a result, I wanted to make sure I was getting the viewpoint from [Keep Reading...]
It’s been just about two months since I last updated the list of people I’m following on Twitter. I thought today might be a good day to give a brief update. Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll try to catch “all the way” up to who I’m following. In case you missed the earlier [Keep Reading...]
