A Day in Philly

Pat's King of Steaks

Last week I did an overnight trip to Philadelphia. :-D It was going to be the final stop of my road trip back home, but I just didn’t have time to sightsee the city then. Since it’s only a hundred something miles from home though, I knew I’d be able to visit it for a…

The Pursuit of Happiness

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Enjoying the last few days of freedom? (And a final plea to Obama Supporters)

This presidential election is sadly overshadowing everything else happening in my life right now. While I plan to go out and enjoy the fall foliage while it is still at its peak, I wonder if these last few days before the election will mark the last time I’ll ever be able to enjoy an autumn…

Remembering 9/11 The Right Way

I didn’t write anything about 9/11, because after 6 years, I’m starting to get a little tired of the morbidity of it all. “Let us remember, blah blah blah, those who tragically died, blah blah blah, and join our hands in prayer, blah blah bladdy blah blah….” Screw this crap. You know what I want?…
