She’s travelled across deserts (by car), is allegedly a virgin, and has claimed every room (and blanket) at our inn as if it had all been foretold.

A once promising career (believe it or not) reduced to a marionette, national security be damned. Possibly the saddest and lamest position statement ever issued by a U.S. senator.

Daphne will always find the most comfortable spot, even if it’s between the legs. Doesn’t seem to mind feet at all. Tell her she’s wrong.

Picked these up today at my local independent bookstore (Rediscovered Books in Boise). It’s a no Amazon, buy local, try-not-to-support-billionaires kind of Christmas for me this year, and hopefully every year going forward.

Not just online. It’s happening on high school and college campuses. Dads: teach your sons not only to be better but how to stand up this crap. Women: report it. Schools: treat it like the serious threat it is.

There was a hard freeze last night and I’m just staring out the window watching the big yellow maple in my front yard drop its leaves all at once. By the end of the day it will seem like winter, and I can’t think of a more perfect metaphor.
