Ashes? We don’t need no stinkin’ ashes!

I know, ANOTHER one from Carlo

OK, OK, I know that I have been loquacious lately. I can’t really tell you why, I simply have a lot to comment on.
I have a quote that I would like to share, and that I hope you all will think about. It is from one of my favorite authors, a man that [...]

Comments are always welcome

I was just chatting with our Lady Phoenix, and I realized something (mind you, I realize things constantly, but this is one worth sharing).
It seems that there is a small but consistent group of people out there in internet-space that reads and comments on our blog. This is the two hundred and [...]

I shall return!

Well, boys and girls, I have been ordered to move out. I am preparing to go to Texas so that we can help the people of the Houston area. I am glad that we are being given the opportunity to help people recover from Hurricane Rita.

Friends, acquaintances, and enemies, even.

Well, one of the most inspirational blogs for me has a big, ugly “Closed” sign up. I hope that everything is OK, and that you get the time that you need, Steelcowboy. I hope that everyone got a chance to read his postings, because he always had a good take on things. [...]
