I’ve pointed out before that I’m a supporter of Barak Obama. With regards to my support, nothing as changed. With regards to Hillary Clinton though, I’ve recently discovered something has changed. First, a few things have not changed regarding Hillary. 1) I would support her if she were the Democratic Nominee. 2) I do not [...]

Project: Blanket Chest
Over this weekend, I’ve begun to work in my shop again. I know, I know. That’s all I do is stop then start with my woodworking. I think that is the nature of hobbies when you have a family. My project, for the past few years, is a blanket chest for our entry way. I’m [...]
