I’m going to continue yesterday’s “News Feed” idea as today’s Anniversary Celebration Week posts. Today’s is all about the day of the Election, when the MSM was practically bursting at the seams with excitement about their Queen becoming President. It’s funny, this was supposed to be the great day of victory for the Left, but […]

a message i just received from my apolitical friend… I never would have thought in a million years that this would have come from his phone. Maybe it was hacked by nefarious trump operatives… Preview Open

I am in no way any kind of sports fan. I don’t read sports stories in the newspaper (print or online), and I don’t normally voluntarily watch sports on TV (except an occasional squash match with Ray). On Thanksgiving, we were at my liberal sister’s house, and I actually watched the entire Seahawks-49ers game with […]

If Jesus could heal a blind person he happened to meet, then why not heal blindness? -Christopher Hitchens One of the philosophic questions that have caused all sorts of consternation is the problem of suffering and its related issue, evil. The two topics are often handled together, and I grant you there can be a […]

It began in my senior year of college. I was standing in the post office, getting my mail from the box, and was surprised by a poke in my ribs. I turned quickly. The poker was a student I didn’t recognize. We stared at each other for a few moments. Finally, recognition dawned and he […]

In 2010 I was received into the Evangelical Lutheran Church, along with my wife. This still remains a surprise to me, five years later. My parents raised me as a Roman Catholic: baptized, confirmed, and well-catechized. I spent my high school years in Catholic schools, the last two at a school run by the Benedictines. […]

I had been on the job less than a month. Two months earlier, in August, I had been a rendezvous navigation software engineer on the Shuttle Program. When the Shuttle Program ended I was let go. Given slack demand for space rendezvous navigation engineers, I recast myself as a tech writer. Sure enough, within a […]

Ok, it wasn’t a real flood. The water heater in the basement let loose a small torrent of water that seeped under the wall into the adjacent closet. Luckily, my mom noticed it in time and managed to salvage the many boxes full of family memorabilia that had moved from house to house over the years. Since […]

It’s funny, how things turn out, not always the way you plan. 10 Cents’ original charge for this series was “nice stories of how things turned out differently.” When I first volunteered for this, I asked Mr. Dime to assign me a date. After a brief internet shell game with Aaron Miller, I gladly owned November […]

I am a terribly boring person. For me, there might be no greater earthly joy than simply wandering along my favorite beach, alone, and browsing what small treasures the tide has brought to men. A thousand shells of endless variety, tossed haphazardly onto the fleeting hoard. Some lie still in dry sand. Others dance in the last waves, flitting from notice and […]
