It's where I write stuff
I was an early adopter of the primary online communication systems collectively known today as social media. I had a MySpace page to keep on eye on my what my kids were doing with theirs. I got a Facebook account for the same reason. I still recall when I first heard of Twitter. Dave Tate …
I have not been feeling well the last few days. A generalized fatigue, with muscle aches and headaches and the occasional lightheaded feeling one gets when standing too quickly. I have felt the need to lay down quite often, and have taken advantage of being self-employed to do just that. As it persisted, I began …
I was a Marlins fan from their inaugural season in 1992. Living in Miami, I was beyond excited to have an MLB team to call my own once again. I followed them diligently, went to lots of games at the baseball-fitted version of Dolphins Stadium, bought the hats, shirts and other paraphanelia, rejoiced when they …
In the 2019 Mets season, newly acquired superstar closer from Seattle, Edwin Diaz, had one of the most painful pitching experiences I've ever witnessed. Granted, there was something different about the ball in 2019, with more Home Runs hit than ever before, but Diaz seemed unable to pitch a 9th inning to close out a …
When the Federal Guidelines for Reopening America first came out, I reviewed them and communicated to the South Carolina Governor's twitter account, as well as the Post & Courier's account, that the state hadn't met a single one of the requirements to reopen. The very first one was a 14-day decrease in new cases. I …

At some point along the way, our large brains developed the ability to problem solve and most importantly, how to remember what we've learned …
It is disheartening to see the continued insult to the human intellect that is the notion that increased COVID-19 cases among the populace is a result of increased testing for the disease. This absurdity, which is easily disproven, is seemingly unable to be quashed as people are apparently unable or unwilling to address their confirmation …

The Feds moving into Portland in camouflage military gear and snatching people off the street into unmarked vans is the final straw for me. I can't actually believe it's happening, but it is, and Trump and his cronies are doubling down on this unconstitutional theft of the rights of American citizens to basically stand around …
I've taken a long, slow approach to this cut for several reasons, most importantly that we can only oxidize and burn stored fat for fuel at a certain rate. Roughly 25 kcal per day can be oxidized from fat cells and burned. In order to get our bodies to do this, we need to create …
I will state at the outset that I have a deep affinity for the Bill of Rights. They are perhaps the only real meritorious claim to American Exceptionalism. The founding of a new nation specifically prohibiting the establishment of a religion, while simultaneously promoting the free exercise of one's religion was a brilliant stroke, as …
