For Father’s Day

Have a great day Father’s and remember what’s important.

Two gentle reminders. Well, maybe not so gentle from followers on Twitter and fellow bloggers. Enjoy today and read these on Monday.

New Years, 2011

A new year. Glad to see it. Last year wasn’t so hot and so far it doesn’t look as though this one will be either. Ah, well. Let’s see what I can do to accomplish something.

Didn’t do so hot on last year’s resolutions.

• I didn’t get close to reading two books a month last year. So I’m going to shoot for one every other month. Six books in the next year. If I can’t do that… My list is still the same.
• I did finish reading through the Bible, so I’m going to do it again this year. I’m just going to use a different method than last year.
• I didn’t lose 30 pounds. Sigh. I just love to eat and hate to exercise too much. I still need to lose some weight though, but I’m going to cut back to 15. Still won’t be enough, but if I get that much, maybe it will give me motivation to lose more.
• I don’t like treadmills, etc., so that means exercising outside. Sometimes it’s just too doggone cold  to do that.
• I still didn’t blog enough, especially toward the end of the year. Posting on the first day of the year hopefully gives me a good start. Right?

There we go. In black and white, or whatever, for another year…

In DC, even the Spelling Bee draws protesters – Yahoo! News

Some people have too much time on their hands…

Four peaceful protesters, some dressed in full-length black and yellow bee costumes, represented the American Literacy Council and the London-based Spelling Society and stood outside the Grand Hyatt on Thursday, where the Scripps National Spelling Bee is being held. Their message was short: Simplify the way we spell words.

Wait. The Spelling Bee is a sport now! ESPN carries it! Simplifying spelling would be like replacing a baseball or football with a softball!

OK, maybe I have too much time on my hands, too.

I won’t be writing

I sent an email to my editor last night, telling her that I would be withdrawing from the Community Columnists.

I love doing it, but I just don’t have the time to do the job the way I want to.

Some people eat out more than I do, I guess

Now that it’s public…

Does this mean I’m now part of the Main Stream Media?

He considers himself a conservative and is an evangelical Christian who differs from the religious right on many issues. He was one of the original community columnists.
