Umpire, father, church guy, payroll person, and called an ally by some of the most important people in my world. Humility is strength. Kindness is power. Love changes everything.

Man, I wish I could fly to Pennsylvania to celebrate FIFDay 2025 in style. That should be a lot of fun. #FiveIronFrenzy

This was from July, 2016. That was the last time I was in DC. Isn't it crime-ridden?

Ray Brownlie posted this picture and he references 8 who were kept out but paved the road. I appreciate the humility but I also appreciate the struggle you went through. Thanks for helping make this weekend come to fruition. It's about time. So happy for her and you.

Now that PRIDE month is done, I now declare July ACE Awareness month. One of my kids identifies as ACE so I want to know more about it, thus my wanted awareness of it. Interestingly, ACE is short for asexual, which brings into question the idea that all LGBTQIA+ is about hyper-sexualization.

I'm old enough to remember when Dr Pepper was lambasted about omitting the words, "Under God" on their drink label because they were anti-God apparently. What is sad now is that group which went ballistic is happy to omit the words, "For All" because Liberty and Justice is for whom they deem worthy.

I enjoy playing this one by myself and with a couple of people. It is pretty relaxing. Finally placed all 8 blooms last game.

When we bought season passes to Knotts in August of last year, I tried the test seat for Accelerator and I didn't fit. The light remained red.
My goal for this year was to be able to ride it before December 2025. Every time we have visited, I've tried the seat and always red.

One of the responses I got about due process and the Hispanics being shipped to El Salvador without trial. I'm dumbfounded. Is this saying that black people should have just shut up and took it during the Civil rights movement or women should shut up and take it when r*ped?

I shared this picture on Facebook and have had the hardiest discussion about due process I've had anywhere. Arguments against have included the Secret Service has files we don't know about that convicts these men and if it walks like a duck, it's a duck. Maybe I'll make a highlight reel for here.

A friend of mine posted this when I brought up that the men sent to El Salvador were not given due process as is required by the 5th Amendment. This thinking is out there. He didn't agree with the idea that "no person" means anyone in the US and not just citizens. I don't know if there's hope.

Just got a text from Ken Calvert, my Republican House Rep. I think it results of his informal survey are going to be skewed because his supporters are more likely to want his texts.

I posted this on Facebook 9 years ago. Not much had changed. Trump was a bully in 2016 and remains one today. He's just empowered by the one's who claim to follow the one who is strongest in our weakness and lifts up those who wait.
