Anyone who knows me knows I’ve always been a big admirer of women. I appreciate ’em so much, in fact, that I married one 31 years ago. But, as usual, women are at the heart of a Yuge problem. And many of them, if not most, don’t seem to care to even try to fix it. Of course, by now, I’m sure you’ve guessed … Read the rest…
I just listened to a young, 20 year old man’s pro life (aka abolish abortion) speech he gave just a few days ago. And his exhortative, yet encouraging words, impressed me in a unique way. Because I know this guy. And because, other than his parents, I’m probably the first person to sing to him when he was a baby. And I say encouraging … Read the rest…

So, she married the 19 year old young man (soon to be 20), who also knew … Read the rest…

(psst…I have a beard) But through some odd search results, for an entirely different topic, I found out about “hipster facial hair.” Apparently there was (and is?) a hipster subculture that … Read the rest…
Infinitely creative. That’s the way you might imagine somebody who could conjure up designs for the universe and everything in it. And if you found out that the same person could get it all built in only six days, you might start to think, “This is no ordinary person.” And that would be the understatement of all time. Because there’s one who can be … Read the rest…
