When my wife first went to meet some of my relative in Miami, she had a shock. Our family is a typical Latino family. This means that when we discuss contentious subjects, our hands start waving and our voices rise up. My wife comes from a family that is not quite that demonstrative. My family, […]
The real state song of Alabama
Now, if you go to the official state website, you will find a state anthem listed. Hmm, don’t believe what you read there. Everyone who lives in Alabama knows what the real state anthem is, “Sweet Home Alabama.” In fact there are people here who will chat and ignore the national anthem, but will get […]
An idea that most would support
Enjoy the video above. Whether the idea would work or not, I do not know. However, it would certainly make me feel better.
Geeks witnessing
OK, I admit it. I am a geek. LET’S HEAR IT FOR GEEKS FOR CHRIST!

It has been an odd day today. I had to go to an office at the VA Medical Center to which I had not been before. As I entered the office, I noticed a painting of the Viet Nam Memorial. It was the painting above. I later found out that the painting is by Lee […]
